Senior looking for Engineering, Business, and other cool summer programs/internship.

Pre-College Issues Summer Programs
1

<p>Does anyone know about any programs in the upcoming summer in any fields of engineering or business? I don't mind if the application process is long and tedious, but I really want to make this last HS summer fun and meaningful. I no longer want to "pad my resume" or anything like that to look good for colleges, but merely explore my interests. </p>

<p>THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP!!!</p>

<p>Let me know if you find anything good. I’m looking for the same kind of program. Ideally something business related.</p>

<p>Someone suggested Endevvr (<a href=“http://www.endevvr.com”>www.endevvr.com</a>) in another thread. It looks like the best one I found so far. </p>

<p>same @hvoss11! I saw someone post about Endevvr too, but unfortunately the tuition is a little steep (roughly 6k) for 5 weeks…</p>

<p>Yeah. I managed to save some $ since last summer for this kind of thing, and going through all the options this one seems like it’s actually worth it. I had some friends who did “college” business programs before, and it was not much different than regular school. You go to class and you do homework.
I emailed Endevvr to find out more about what the program is like, and from what the guy wrote, it seems really different in a good way. I’ll let you know if I find others too.</p>

<p>Sounds good! I also heard about FTE Economics for Leaders and the Upenn programs (LBW and LEAD) but I think those deadlines have passed. </p>

<p>FYI, LBW’s deadline is February 31st - you still have plenty of time!</p>

<p>^^There is no Feb 31st.</p>

<p>FTE Economics for Leaders deadline is in March, I think. Maybe March 5th?</p>

<p>I was talking about the program at Penn</p>

Hi Kevin! It’s awesome that you goal is to explore rather than simply boosting resume. In this case I strongly recommend the Endevvr Summer Incubator. I went there in the summer 2014. Before starting the program, I had a ton of curiosity and little knowledge about entrepreneurship or what I wanted to work on. I got to try out new things, to challenge myself, to fail and iterate, with the support from fellow classmates, counselors and mentors (experienced entrepreneurs who came in to help us).
