Question about Research

<p>I see many people who have done research with professors and such at universities or hospitals. I am wondering how one is able to do this because most places I've encountered have said that their limited opportunities are primarily for college students. Thus, they cannot offer me the opportunity. </p>

<p>Are there any certain research places, programs, or something that allow highschool kids. (Not the competitions but the ability to actually do it) I know many do, but I'm trying to find out how?</p>

<p>Any tips and advice and personal anecdotes are welcome!</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I’ve heard of people just randomly emailing professors at the local universities to do research with them. I guess you can ask to shadow them or just observe what their doing at first.
It doesn’t hurt to try :].</p>
