🌼 Meaningful
🔎 Specific
📚 Researchable
✅ Achievable

A research question does not have to perfect from the beginning of the project – refining is part of the process.

We want to change the culture of UK education so that every young person can take part in authentic research in school.

In 2026, we’re continuing our work with schools and partners to make it a reality.

Let's make it happen.
