<p>Hi guys, my name is Jason and I'm a current Junior in California. </p>
<p>I was just wondering if anyone has experience with the science competitions listed in the title. I feel like when I look at the different past winners, I am overwhelmed over where to start. </p>
<p>I currently have a research internship at a lab. I don't really do much there other than learn what they're researching and kind of follow in their footsteps. </p>
<p>I'm assuming that for the competitions, I would have to begin and carry out a project all by myself, and I can't use any of the previous research of the lab I'm interning at.</p>
<p>I'm just lost on how people start, is there anyone that could give me guidance? </p>
<p>If it helps I've taken AP Bio and am currently taking AP Chem. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
