Students Helping Students Turn Curiosity Into Opportunity

Memorial High School senior Anfisa Bogdanova saw that students could miss meaningful research, mentorship and academic opportunities simply because they didn't know those opportunities existed or weren't sure how to begin.

Instead of waiting for someone else to solve the problem, she created FUSE, a student-led initiative designed to help students discover opportunities and turn their interests into meaningful work.

Through FUSE's Impact Scholars program, students:

• Choose a topic they want to explore

• Conduct research and develop a paper or article

• Receive mentorship, feedback and peer support

• Revise and strengthen their work

• Publish their finished projects

Students have already explored topics ranging from engineering and artificial intelligence to business and astrophysics, gaining experience in research, writing, critical thinking and responding to feedback along the way.

“I wanted students to have someone who would take their ideas seriously and help them turn those ideas into something complete and tangible,” Anfisa said.

FUSE has also given Anfisa an opportunity to grow as a leader while helping other students gain confidence in their own ideas.

Read the full story to learn how Anfisa and her peers are turning curiosity into opportunity.
