I am a high school sophomore at a prestigious STEM school. I am currently looking for a summer program or internship that I could do bc my school requires an internship experience for junior and senior years. I am really good at robotics and have done well in VEX competitions. I am also very skilled in engineering and did well in my engineering and physics class. I am also Hispanic if that helps. What are my possible options?
