What you'll walk away with

Qualitative interviewing, synthesis, and insight artifacts.
Mentorship from the Aristotle team

Direct product impact

What you'll ship
Four pieces, one project
Each post is a small research project: a question worth asking, interviews to ground it, patterns worth finding, and writing worth reading.
One blog post, co-authored with us
A 1,000–1,500 word article you write alongside the Aristotle team, shaped through edits, feedback, and shared bylines.
Conversations with students and parents
3–5 interviews and/or 10–20 survey responses. You learn to listen for what people mean beneath what they say.
A research artifact
A journey map, pain-point list, or insights deck: the thing that turns raw quotes into patterns.
Three product suggestions
Short memo to the Aristotle team on what you learned and what we should build or change because of it.
For example
What a project could look like
These are just examples. Fellows can pitch their own topic or pick from our list of open questions.
What students wish their tutors knew
A fellow might run sit-down interviews with 6 students about the moments their tutors helped, the moments they didn't, and what they wished was different.
The hidden cost of generic study advice
Conversations with high schoolers and college students who tried the most-cited online study tips, and what changed when they stopped.
The questions parents wish they'd asked sooner
Interviews with parents whose kids hit a wall in middle school, high school, or college, on the conversations they wish they'd had earlier.
Who this is for
Listen to students and parents. Shape what gets built.
Fellows spend more of this program in conversations with students and parents than at a keyboard. We're looking for undergrads who want a real piece of work, research and writing they can show in interviews, and who care about how learning actually works.
