EC:

Morgan Stanley Mentorship (had a mentor before the internship to talk about CS stuff)

Ion Thruster Project - (A group of friends and I started working on this project when we had taken an elective "Physics Research" freshman year. We decided to continue with it, and the assistant principal of Physics asked us to join "Plasma Physics", an all senior course, so that we could learn more and make progress on our project. The only thing is that we have 2-3 failed models, and nothing really to show for 3+ years worth of effort).
