A FIRST STEP INTO REAL RESEARCH
You don’t need all the answers.
Just a question worth exploring.
01 / THE BEGINNING
Research can feel like a world you need an invitation to enter. We’re building a way in.
Erevna helps high-school students turn an interest into an investigation—with structure, guidance, and room to ask the next question.
Curiosity is enough to begin. ↗A QUESTION IS AN OPENING.
You don’t need to arrive with an answer.
You need a reason to look closer.
LET CURIOSITY PULL YOU IN.
Learn to move from wondering
to asking—and from asking to investigating.
02 / FROM QUESTION TO DISCOVERY
And you can learn it.
Scroll through your research journey.
Curiosity
Notice something. Wonder why it happens. You don’t need a polished idea or a perfect answer to begin.
YOU’LL BUILD A curiosity notebookTHE SAME IDEAS. A NEW WAY TO SEE THEM.
01 / A BEGINNINGScattered thoughts can become something you can investigate.
03 / FOLLOW YOUR CURIOSITY
From living systems to distant orbits.
Find a question that makes you look closer.
Compare published evidence on light exposure and plant growth. Consider the variables a fair comparison would need.
THE QUESTION LAB / TRY A FIRST STEP
Watch an everyday curiosity become something specific enough to investigate.
A broad interest is a useful beginning. Now make it focused, answerable, and manageable.
ONE POSSIBLE APPROACH
Start with a literature review. Compare how existing studies define sleep and measure attention. Look for limitations before drawing a conclusion.
Association does not establish cause. A literature-based project avoids collecting sensitive information from classmates.
Illustrative examples. Final projects depend on program guidance and feasibility.
Move your pointer.
Give the ideas a direction.
04 / GUIDANCE, NOT GATEKEEPING
You bring the curiosity. We’re building a mentor network to help you shape it into thoughtful, manageable research.
The goal: guidance from university students, researchers, professors, and experienced mentors through workshops and small-group conversations.
Interested in mentoring? MENTOR NETWORK IN DEVELOPMENTChoose a perspective. See what a little guidance can change.
YOUR FLIGHT TO TEST
Drag to aim. Release to launch.Or use the controls below and Launch flight. Keyboard: arrows to aim, Enter to fly.
Start with one thing you can change. Try the width of the wings.
What makes a paper plane fly farther?
FIELD NOTES / A RESEARCHER’S MINDSET
These habits matter in every field.
And they’re habits you can learn.
A NOTE ON STARTING
Start with what catches your attention: a pattern, a result that surprises you, or an explanation that doesn’t quite make sense.
The first skill is noticing.
01 / 03A NOTE ON EVIDENCE
Research asks you to look beyond the first answer. Read closely, check the source, and consider another explanation.
“How do we know?” is a powerful question.
02 / 03A NOTE ON DISCOVERY
You might find a pattern. You might find an unexpected exception. You might find that your question needs to change. Each can teach you something.
Progress is learning what to ask next.
03 / 0305 / THE EXPERIENCE
Structured modules. Practical workshops. Time to think.
A proposed program built around the steps of research.
Start broad. Then get specific.
Read closely. Follow the evidence.
Turn the question into a plan.
Make sense of what you find.
Write clearly. Name the limitations.
Present the work—and the questions it opens.
Program length, schedule, fees, and delivery format will be confirmed before applications open.
YOUR QUESTION, MADE VISIBLE.
Begin with something
you want to understand.
Describe how you
chose to investigate it.
06 / THE FINAL SHOWCASE
Research isn’t finished when you reach a result. It becomes useful when you can explain it.
The planned final showcase gives students a place to present their work, talk through their process, and share the next question.
PART OF THE PLANNED FIRST PROGRAM07 / WHY WE’RE HERE
Erevna Research is an Ontario registered not-for-profit corporation creating a structured first experience with research for high-school students.
We believe that learning to investigate a question should not depend on already having the right connections or an extensive résumé.
We’re new. Our first program is expected in Spring 2027. Right now, we’re developing the learning experience and the community that will support it.
THERE’S A PLACE FOR YOU HERE
Bring your first question.
Help someone find a direction.
Connect curiosity with opportunity.
Share how discovery actually happens.
Help make a first step possible.
08 / GOOD QUESTIONS
Erevna is being designed primarily for high-school students. Exact grade, age, location, and eligibility requirements will be shared before applications open.
No previous research experience is expected. The program is intended to teach the process from the beginning: how to ask a focused question, work with evidence, and explain what you find.
Fees and any financial support are still being determined. Making introductory research accessible is central to Erevna’s purpose. Full cost information will be available before you apply.
The first program is expected around Spring 2027. Application dates are not yet confirmed. You can register your interest below.
Current areas include Life Sciences, Natural Sciences, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Aerospace, Technology, and Computer Science. Specific projects will depend on the finalized program and available guidance.
The mentor network is in development. We aim to offer structured guidance through workshops, webinars, university student mentors, and small-group conversations with researchers and experienced mentors. Specific formats and availability will be confirmed.
Yes—we welcome interest from university students, as well as researchers, professors, and experienced mentors. Select “Prospective mentor” in the interest form. Roles and requirements will be shared as the program develops.
EVERY DISCOVERY STARTS SOMEWHERE.
For students with questions.
For people who want to help them ask.
