Project ROPEs: Research Opportunities with Programming Experiences
Project ROPEs is a student-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to introducing students to the opportunities in research. With an engaging curriculum, we support student volunteers in teaching the basics of research to middle school students in their local communities.
“To teach the fundamentals of research and programming to students, guiding them on their journeys of scientific research.“
RC2 Chapters for
the 2020-21 School Year
Students in Scientific Research throughout 2020
Years of Science Fair
Experience (Combined)
For the 2020-21 school year, we are offering free online RC² classes from November through March, guiding middle school students in conducting a science fair project of their own.
The class will be completely online, with 7 virtual sessions spanning January through March. Students will also have periodic check-ins with our volunteers, high school students with science fair experience.
Any rising/current middle schoolers (6th-8th grades) can attend! We currently have 3 RC2 chapters across 2 states, with curriculum tailored to fit the various regional fairs, but anyone is welcome to join a class.
Students can choose any science or engineering project that interests them! Our mentors will guide each student through the process, from writing the regional fair proposal to preparing for judging.

Our PROP Workshops teach advanced Python, with an emphasis on its application in scientific research.
Here’s what students that attended our 2020 summer Basic Python Workshops said:
“Pretty fun class where you get to learn lots of Python! This class has definitely kept me interesting in computer programming and wanting to learn more!”
“This class is really great since they offer great information and give the best to the class! I think this would be great for anyone that is interested in coding.”
“I learned a lot from this class. I was able to grasp concepts I previously struggled with through the examples and projects in this class.”
