<p>Looking for something in the STEM area preferably in August since my school year ended late, if it's possible, can anyone point me in the right direction?</p>
<p>I’m looking for the same!</p>

What area do you live in? </p>
<p>You are really late to be looking. You might contact Operation Catapult at Rose-Hulman and see if they will still take an application, their final date for taking apps is past but it is pretty late compared to a lot of programs.</p>
<p>Bump</p>
<p>You guys are way late… applications for most programs start in Feb/March, and close by May. You need to line this stuff up before school gets out, not halfway through the summer (it IS July already). It is late to look for a volunteer or research position at a local college lab as well… sorry, no good suggestions at this point in the summer. Maybe take a couple of MOOCs and volunteer someplace interesting… you are very unlikely to find programs now.</p>
<p>I think we realized that the actual “summer” programs are already over or halfway through already haha @intparent </p>
<p>I’m looking for more of an August or throughout the school year type of internship or program. I was thinking maybe something along the lines of research…? Anyone have suggestions? </p>
<p>If you want to find a lab research experience, this thread has terrific advice:</p>

<p>Thank you, that’s a really helpful thread.
