I live in NJ and want to do something science related this summer. I want to join a summer long program or two.

Here is the thing though. I checked out the liberty science center thing, and they want you to APPLY, not only that, but the applications were due two weeks ago, so I can’t do that anymore. Is there anything else at LSC I can do? Is there anything in the city I can do (Manhattan)? Again, I live in NJ and would have to take an hour train ride up there but I would be participating in two different summer long programs. So. Yeah. Any ideas?

It would be awesome if I could have a combination of a curriculum (honors and AP courses taken at a school) and having to do like a research project.

My GPA is not that great because I screwed up and didn’t care at the start of high school but I really want to do something big this summer. I really need advice.

So far I have found:

Liberty science center (application deadline has passed for one of their major HS programs)
NASA “SHARP”-Cannot find any info on this
AMNH-Seems like all their good stuff is reserved for students who attend HS in NYC.

Please help…
