Summer Research Programs for Sophomores (15 years old)?

Hey!
So I’m trying to push myself into exploring research programs where I can get hands-on experience and maybe a project to submit into competitions. Here’s the thing: After going online and looking for summer research programs for sophomores, I realized that a lot were restricted to 16 year olds. I’m only turning 16 after the summer so I won’t be able to apply to those.

I’m thinking of applying to the UCSB - Research Mentorship Program or SSTP. Can anyone give me a suggestion or some insight into such programs? Thanks!!
