<p>How can someone in high school get research experience? Do you just knock on the door of a college close by and ask?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>at my school (new horizons gov school) we're required to do a mentorship with substantial research if you're enrolled in any science course. the mentorship/research is done on your own time, you have to log a certain amount of hours/week, and you have to write proposals, give presentations on your research, etc. most of us do the research with NASA employees, Jefferson Lab employees, or local doctors and engineers. the whole research deal is sort of setup for us before hand, since it's cooridinated through the school and pretty much everyone has to do it.</p>
<p>Check out this</a> old thread. I and another few people made a few posts with a couple good links with research opportunities.</p>
