<p>Does anybody have any ideas as to how to get a research internship or the like as a high school student? I would really like to start working in a lab, but I don't know who to ask. If anybody can tell me about anyone/anything that has any positions open on the east coast, you should probably check your mail in a week or two for a marriage proposal.</p>
<p>Check your local/regional universities–most have some form of summer research program (several of my friends worked in Vandy Bioengineering, for example). Granted, every such internship tends to focus on the medical side, so if that’s not your gig, well, the best way is to look around.</p>
