For applying for researching should I put education, interests, and awards after or before my experiences? I'm asking mainly because I don't really have good experiences yet. The only thing I have is tutoring, programming, and labs which were done in high school.

Thank you!

Put the good stuff first. Let someone older read it and advise.
 
Education before experiences, particularly if you're applying for something academic and particularly if your education is better than your experiences!
