My experience at Lumiere was one of my top life memories that gave me strength that I haven't thought that I will have
Doing a research with Lumiere is one of my life experience that I can't forget. It helped me to know my capacity and passion well. It pushed me more to my dream which I want to reach for the future. The people were so humble and open to any questions. It was an amazing experience that you face a new challenge every week which makes even stronger. All in all I really appreciate the company for helping me to have a good struggling and challenging experience that I can be proud of my self.

One step to a transformative experience.
Sorry, I did not find the correct words to express how much my experience was great. As an international student living in a country with very limited opportunities and with a family in a very limited financial situation, Lumiere offers me the opportunity to do research and they cover all the expenses. I think these people are doing great things, and I hope to be part of it when I grow up.

My Experience With The Lumiere Research Program
My experience at Lumiere has definitely been one of the highlights of my high school career. Under the guidance of a mentor, writing coaches and publication experts, I aways had someone to turn to when I faced an obstacle while conducting my research and writing my paper. The support from all sides is what makes Lumiere such a special program. I would definitely recommend if for anyone who wishes to enhance their high school experience and gain more skills in research in an area of their interest!

An Invaluable Research Experience with lumiere
My experience with Lumiere Education was truly outstanding, especially because of their flexibility and the support I received from the team. From day one, I felt that the program was tailored to fit our needs as students. Deadlines were always flexible, allowing us to progress in our research without feeling pressured or stressed.
One of the highlights for me was my relationship with my mentor. He was incredibly friendly and supportive, always willing to help with any question I had, even if it was outside the program's scope. Whenever I struggled to understand something in English, he would explain it in simpler terms or even write it down and read it slowly. This made a huge difference in how much I benefited from the experience.
Additionally, Lumiere offered us plenty of opportunities to connect with professionals and experts, which opened up new doors for me. Through guidance sessions on university admissions and other insightful sessions, I gained knowledge that would have been hard to access otherwise.
In short, Lumiere not only helped me achieve my dream of writing a high-quality research paper, but also equipped me with the knowledge and skills that will support my future academic journey.

The perfect research experience.
Lumiere paired me up with a perfect mentor, who not only helped me with the rigourous research process, but also was extremely flexible with my tough routine and schedules. This provided me an oppurtunity to explore my interests deeply and to write a very well researched paper on the immunotherapy of cancer. Lumiere looked after my progress all the time, with multiple workshops, check-ins and the most useful the writting center, which enhanced the quality of my research paper.

Lumiere Research Scholar Program Review
The Lumiere Education Program was an invaluable experience for me because it provided hands-on exposure to the research process and allowed me to develop critical thinking and analytical skills. I learned how to formulate research questions, conduct thorough investigations, and effectively present my findings. By the end of the program, I had a research paper that I am truly proud of, reflecting the knowledge and skills I gained throughout the journey.

Reflections on My Lumiere Research Program Experience
My experience with the Lumiere Research Program was amazing. What really stood out was the support and personalized guidance from my mentor. They were not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in helping me succeed. It made such a difference to have someone who was always there to answer my questions, give feedback, and push me to think deeper.
The way the program was structured also made the experience great. I loved how the research method training sessions were practical and clear, giving me the skills I needed to work on my project confidently. Getting regular feedback was super helpful, and it felt like I was constantly learning and improving. Being able to explore my topic, the psychological effects of the Tigray and Amhara conflict, in a way that felt relevant and impactful was both challenging and rewarding.
Overall, Lumiere is doing a fantastic job creating a space where young researchers feel supported and inspired. The combination of mentorship, a well-designed curriculum, and a focus on real, world impact made the program truly unforgettable.
One thing that could make the Lumiere experience even better would be adding more chances for group collaboration or peer feedback. The one-on-one mentorship was amazing, but I think connecting with other students more such as through group discussions or workshops would make it feel more interactive and build a stronger sense of community.
Another idea is to offer more guidance on what comes next after finishing the research paper, especially when it comes to getting published. Maybe a session or workshop on the publication process would be super helpful, since it can be pretty overwhelming to figure out on your own.

Horrible program
I had a disappointing experience with this mentorship program. Despite expressing my interest in pursuing math research, my mentor assigned me coding tasks without having relevant coding expertise. Instead of providing direct guidance, they suggested I watch YouTube videos to learn. Given the substantial fee my parents paid, I expected structured support, but I was left largely to work independently. With minimal experience in coding and no assistance with debugging, I struggled to complete the project and ultimately couldn't finish it. This experience left me feeling frustrated and discouraged about coding altogether.
