<p>I'm going to Orange County this break to visit my grandma. Where I live (Northern California close to Nevada) there are very few opportunities for ambitious high school students. I want to do something in the STEM field in my two weeks in SoCal - any ideas?</p>
<p>Contact UCI or one of the labs around it for a possible internship. Hospitals are out of the question, since they are extremely difficult to intern at here.</p>
<p>Do you think they would be open to that if i
I was only there for a few weeks?</p>
<p>One of them might. I know many of the places there is orientation and key cards that one must go through, so probably not those ones. Other ones though might work. Remember though that you are still a high schooler possibly competing for spots against UCI, IVC, and Chapman kids.</p>
