DRIPBL® Research Incubator Programs
Research Incubator Course Overview:
This transdisciplinary STEAM-focused program integrates research, innovation, and entrepreneurship through project-based learning methods. Work with our top-tier innovation educators once a week between June and April. The program aims to prepare students with technical and soft skills necessary for real-world problem-solving and innovation. Students are expected to leave the program with a completed scientific research project, compete at their state science and engineering fair (if not regional and ISEF!), and submit their work for publication, a certificate from DRIPBL, a Dual enrollment credit for 10th grade and above students and many more advantages.
Year 1: Foundational Research & Innovation
Year 2: Advanced Research, Prototyping, & Patenting

Description
|
This is DRIPBL's flagship program that will guide your child through all aspects of their project development from conception to competition to publication submission through our proprietary methodology. All of our enrolled students are expected to compete in their local ISEF-affiliated Science and Engineering Fair and submit their research for publication to a peer-review journal.
|
We guide your child through all aspects of their project development from conception to competition to publication submission. We also focus on licensing, patenting, grant writing, marketing, and entrepreneurship.
|
This is an extension of the RIC goals to get a headstart on OR continue their projects over the Summer.
|
We guide your rising senior through all aspects of their project development from conception to competition to publication submission targeting the STS Competition. Compared to RIC, this group starts earlier in the Summer.
|
DRIPBL helps your young ones develop problem-solving abilities (and other Future9 skills) using our proprietary methodology. We guide them through curiosity-driven mindsets find innovative solutions to real-world problems. All of our students are encouraged to compete in invention / innovation competitions.
|
This is an alternative to the RIC that is only recommended for students who need tailored, long-term help on their already existing projects. for refinement, presentations, feedback etc. These sessions are discussion based (not curriculum). These sessions are great for goal setting and accountability. We also mentor them on the requirements of ISEF-affiliated Science and Engineering Fairs and beyond! 1 project mentorship. *Non-RIC enrollees who have more than 8 individual mentor sessions through our website will be required to purchase this option.
