How can I be helpful at an internship?

Thank you for the helpful responses! I am a rising high school sophomore, which means that I’m probably on the younger end of students. Will this be a problem? I’m planning to mention that I’m a high schooler in my email, but I wasn’t sure if I should specify my grade. I’ve also heard that professors don’t typically take high schoolers because there are undergrads willing to do the same work who have first priority.

Also, if this helps, I’m not looking for a paid internship! I just want to learn and gain experience.
