<p>pardon me if these are really incompetent questions
but i'm a rising junior interested in getting a science fair mentor.
and so i was wondering how you do it. you email a professor and say you want to work with them on their project and then you use their data? if you have worked with a mentor and entered that research into SF please tell me in detail how this works.
also, when do you go? i plan on going a little in the summer and during the school year but my mom works so i'd only be free on weekends. do professors ever work on the weekends?
i'm very very confused.
i'll love you forever if you help me :)</p>

<p>I don’t know what category your entering, but try contacting the appropriate professors at your local university. You can try calling them but email works better =). Intel ISEF rules do not allow you to do collaborative research- all data shown must be collected by the student researcher. You’ll have to compromise with your mentor with what research you can do for his/her research and your own research project. You’ll have to discuss times with your mentor- but summertime research works well usually so start looking now! I don’t know your local university but be advised that there’s no guarantee that you’ll find a mentor- my local university was highly uncooperative so I did my own research.</p>
