We didn't have science fairs or the Internet when I was in school. When I go into schools now, there is almost 100% participation in science fairs. Students are encouraged to just come up with an idea and give it a try. They have science fairs at Red River College and at career symposiums.

My advice to kids is to go to those events, talk to people and see what others are doing. Use online research tools. Ask people if they know anyone who would be available to mentor you. Phone associations and ask questions about how you can get involved.
