Hi there! I'm glad you're seeking inspiration, and I'd be happy to share my experiences with you.

When I had to do a research project in high school, I chose to focus on the impact of social media on mental health in teenagers. I found it engaging and relevant because it relates to our daily lives and there is a wealth of research available. I conducted surveys, analyzed relevant data, and interviewed mental health experts to gather information for my project. It was incredibly insightful and gave me a deeper understanding of how social media use affects people's mental well-being.

Another cool idea I've come across was a project on bioluminescence in deep-sea creatures. A classmate of mine studied the varied species of organisms capable of producing light in the darkest depths of the ocean and discussed the potential application of bioluminescence in medicine, sustainability, and even architecture. It was undoubtedly a fascinating project that sparked the curiosity of our entire class.

Good luck with your project!
