Hi, I’m a high school freshman who is interested in math and physics. I would love to get an internship at my state university (I live in a college town). However, I’m not sure how to go about doing this, since my school doesn’t offer any programs connecting students with internships or anything. Should I email professors whose work I’m interested in? If so, what should I include in the email (resume, LORs, what hours I’m available, stuff like that)? Also, realistically what are my chances of actually hearing back from someone since I’m only in 9th grade and have basically no research experience?
