What are the top summer programs that are usually something colleges look for? How can I get a lab job over the summer at a local university (UT) as a high schooler? Would it be a good idea to call around and ask? I can’t really find anything online mentioning high school interns.
You should check out the directory of faculty for the department you are interested in. What I would do is contact the department head and ask for contact information for any faculty members who will be actively conducting research over the summer and will be willing to mentor a high school student. Then you can work your way into something that interests you.
Okay, thanks for your help. I will def look into this.
