Summer Opportunities for Math/CS

[Jefafa]

Hello!

I am a high-school student and I am graduating this year. I got into college, so I am shifting my focus on to things I can do before the fall to advance my learning and career. I was curious if anyone knew about opportunities that might be available for someone in my position.

I live in Maryland, but would be willing to go somewhere else (preferably US) if need be. By the summer, I will have taken undergraduate courses in linear algebra and proofs from Johns Hopkins, and have completed a year-long undergraduate level course in combinatorics. I am very interested in research, but I have a feeling that REUs are a pipe dream for now.

Thank you in advance, and please tell me if this is the wrong form for a question like this, I'm new here.

There are government labs all over Maryland. Many of them have student programs.

If you belong to a minority group and/or attend a MI serving institution. There is an internship between DOD and HBCU. It is already too late to apply. Typically, a large number of summer internship applications open up during the November and end very early January.

Obviously this information is for students already having taken college course work, and at the minimum junior year. There are also some aimed at first/second years. Maybe googling stem internships for community college students would give you an idea of what's out there.

Also emailing the department chair/undergraduate advisor asking what programs the school provides, or are available would not hurt.

Look into Nasa, NSF, defense companies, DOD, DOJ etc.

I recall the FBI, which is under DOJ, offers a few.
