If you have a simple, straight-forward project, then don t waste a professional s time. Mentors should not provide the project. A student should have a project firmly in mind before contacting a mentor. Mentors should not conduct the project. Mentors should not take the project beyond the student s ability to comprehend.
Mentors have time and budgetary constraints, just like everybody else.
Be respectful of their limitations. If you ve tried all your own avenues for getting a mentor and have struck out, try contacting your fair director. Back to South Sound Regional Science Fair Home Page.
