Choosing a topic

[sareena1204]

Dear Expert,
I've run into a dilemma. I have different ways of choosing a topic and I don't know which way to go. Some people tell me to find a science subject that I like and read a book about that subject and find a topic that way...and some say to find a hobby or interest in a particular area of science and find your topic that way. What I'm really confused about is finding something that is interesting and creative at the same time. I see all these great scientists and young great scientists coming up with incredible projects and I wonder: why didn't I think of that? Do you have advice for me Expert? I could really use the help. Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
Sareena

Hi Sareena!

I agree choosing a topic is a "difficult" time on any project.

Science Buddies provides help. If you open "https://www.sciencebuddies.org" in your web browser, you'll notice the "Topic Selection Wizard" in the upper center.

Please give it a try, and buzz back if you have questions.

Thanks.
