<p>[i'm not sure if this is the right forum for this...]</p>

<p>I've been interested in participating in a science fair for quite awhile now. The researching part actually seems very intriguing and fun to me.<br>
The only thing that's keeping me back is finding where to start.</p>

<p>I've always wondered...do the questions/researches (for like the Intel competition and what not) find an answer to a problem that hasn't been solved or discovered yet? Or do they re-experiment and just discover for themselves something that has been discovered already...</p>

<p>any ideas on how to find mentors as well?</p>

<p>Thank you in advance :)</p>

<p>Intel/Siemens projects make new discoveries. Look at the websites of local universites and see if you can get a mentor there. e-mail me for more info, if you'd like.</p>

<p>my school has its own science research class. we get placements in colleges/labs around the city and our research coordinator gets us registered for science fairs. INTEL STS and Siemens are very tough to get into, but if you have a good project, good luck to you!</p>
