- Do you place students in labs?
- We coach the outreach — who to contact, what to send, how to follow up — and prepare the student to be useful once they are in one. We do not sell placements, and we will not pretend a placement is ours to hand over.
- Who coaches the research?
- Daniel Kang and Andrew Kang lead every engagement and stay hands-on in the weekly work — an ISEF winner reading the experimental design, the analysis and the write-up as they develop, rather than a hand-off once the direction is set.
- Can you promise an ISEF or competition result?
- No. Fair results belong to the judges. No one can promise a competition result, and we don't. What we commit to is the work described on this page, done every week, with named people accountable for it. The outcomes we publish appear on this page alongside the methodology behind them.
- When should a student start?
- Before the application cycle rather than during it. A project needs a full run — question, experiments, write-up — before it is something to present to judges or write about in an application.
- Is this only useful for ISEF?
- No. The same work supports affiliated science fairs, selective summer research programs, and the research portion of a college application. ISEF is the sharpest test of it, not the only use of it.
- How many students do you take at once?
- Capped cohort capacity to preserve quality of support. That is a limit on how many engagements run at the same time, not a scarcity tactic — we do not publish a number. If we cannot take a student, we say so on the consultation rather than after it.
- What happens on the consultation?
- Thirty minutes with Daniel Kang and Andrew Kang. We go through where the student stands, the time left and what they want, and end with a plain recommendation — including, when it is the right answer, the recommendation not to work with us.
