      Hi naanbread16,
      Glad to hear that you are interested in science, that’s fantastic!
      The best way I found to express my passion when I was your age was to do experiments and build things. I had an inspiration board in my room where I’d pin my designs, and I was constantly looking for materials for my inventions. I even gave my friends gifts made by me (like a potato battery alarm clock or pretty salts crystals I grew myself) and come up with science-y fancy dresses for Halloween!

      If you are able to, try to participate in science fairs, no matter if it’s alone or as part of a group, they are great fun and the best way to meet other people interested in science. Check if they have a Maker group in your town, they usually have 3D printer that would allow to design and fabricate almost anything.

      But the most important tip is: have fun and never be afraid to express your passion, no matter what!
