2004–2005 Annual Report and Program Evaluation
The 2004–2005 academic year was one of transition and new focuses for Science Buddies. For the second year in a row, we experienced enormous gains in website traffic-there were 853,093 total visitors to our website this school year. We successfully opened Ask an Expert to the public, began planning for a large content increase on the Topic Selection Wizard, concluded our Online Mentoring Program, and built awareness of Science Buddies among teachers.

2002–2003 Annual Report and Program Evaluation
After the success of the first pilot in 2001 with only 81 participants, the Science Buddies team was eager to test the program out on a much wider scale. We accomplished this goal by recruiting, training, and assigning 735 participants to teams (288 middle school Investigators, 221 high school Mentors, and 226 adult Advisors)—a nine-fold increase over our first year. 256 Investigators finished their projects, surpassing our objective and a fifteen-fold increase over the first year.
