I am a 9th grader in WA doing a science fair project. I want a project in the field of psychology that is very impressive and I am also looking for a mentor that is a professional in psychology.
Thank you

Have you reviewed these resources at Science Buddies about searching for and working with a mentor?

Hi Melait65,
I am not sure that we can provide more advice about finding a mentor than what you have seen on the Science Buddies website. Perhaps one good strategy is to narrow down your project idea, and then seek a mentor who can help you with it.
Here are some Science Buddies projects related to psychology. Be sure to check out the "Make It Your Own" section for suggestions on how to make each project even more impressive.

There are several more. Try searching "psychology" on the Science Buddies project search site (

I hope this helps. Please post again (in this same thread) if you have more questions.
