How can I be helpful at an internship?

So, I mentioned above: “What helped my daughter was having a demonstrated interest in the subject matter over the course of several years and supporting activities.” Her interests are in the biological sciences and when she was your age, a rising sophomore, she contacted a local genetics lab that she was aware of that hired interns. It turns out that at that time the lab only offered internships to college kids. My daughter was their first high school intern (this was unpaid). And, a huge part of this experience was in line with tgl2023 statement - learning to be punctual, attentive, inquisitive, doing the jobs assigned without complaint, and be happy cleaning up.

While your age and experience will be an issue, it will not be an insurmountable one. Further, broaden your scope outside of just physics labs at the local university. ANY job this summer will provide the opportunities to learn and gain the experience that tgl2023 outlined.

Good luck to you.
