High school research?

<p>Hi!</p>

<p>After browsing CC for some time now, I'm realizing that quite a few students get involved in research with professors as early as high school. This sounds really really interesting and fun, so I was wondering how one would go about getting such a position? Do I need connections beforehand? Or can I just ask a professor if he/she will let me help out?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
