Perhaps you should let us know what the resources are...I've been 
involved in a science "biotech" project sponsored by Genentech back in 
high school, and I have to say that was probaby one of the main reasons 
I am in the field today, so keep at it!!!  The high school programs need 
more people like yourself.
