<p>Do you guys recommend just volunteering at a library or something during the summer or going to some summer programs? If you think summer programs are the way to go, can you please list any good ones? I prefer free ones :)</p>

<p>Well, right now it's too late to apply/sign up for most programs. Volunteering is good. Try finding a job too if you want.</p>

<p>If you have connections, try getting a research position.</p>

<p>...or you can just start emailing profs. </p>

<p>I haven't really been able to find any good summer programs, the majority are BS including NSLC which I got in the mail. I'm def. gonna try to volunteer at the library/YMCA or something like that. </p>

<p>For summer programs, I'm only interested in tech stuff pertaining to computers,robotics, etc. </p>

<p>Also, what exactly is an internship and is it possible to get one as a sophomore?</p>
