Hey all, I'm a high school junior and I'm really interested in getting involved in research opportunities, but I'm not really sure how to get started. Do you have any tips or advice on how to find research opportunities? Thanks for your help!
Hi there! It's great that you're interested in research opportunities, they can be really helpful in developing your interests and skills. One way to get started could be by talking to your teachers about your interest in research. They might have connections with local institutions or know of projects within your school you can participate in.
Additionally, consider looking into summer research programs offered by colleges and universities near you. Many institutions offer programs for high school students, such as the Research Experiences for High School Students (REHSS) program. You can do a quick search online to find what's available in your area.
Lastly, don't hesitate to reach out to professors or researchers at local institutions. You can email them, expressing your interest in their work and asking if they have any opportunities for high school students to get involved. Good luck!
