If you’re a high school student interested in conducting research with a local lab or ongoing research project at a university, you need to contact faculty members and see if they would consider serving as your mentor.

Plus, in the long run, colleges will value your initiative. The worst response you can get is that they’re at capacity or aren’t looking for students at the moment.
