I have heard that many students at Harvard have participated in lab work at one point or another during their high school careers. Is it possible for me to volunteer for lab work at colleges in my state, as a high school student? I noticed that a college near me partakes in computer research, and I have a strong interest in technology. Could I just send an email and get started this summer, or is it more complicated than that?
There are a lot of programs out there, mainly ones during the summer, where application processes are required to do laboratory research/internships. I would recommend doing some more online research in finding who to contact if you have more questions. If you can not find a specific program or details about internships, email someone.
