Summer Science Programs

<p>No, I am not interested in taking pre-college courses (if that was the case, I could simply register for courses at my community college).</p>

<p>What about arranging our own research opportunity with a professor? (I am aware that there is another existing thread that addresses this topic, but my question is somewhat different, and much more specific)</p>

<p>Are there research centers or colleges within the bay area that are known to offer such research opportunities to high school students? because it would not be practical to pursue any potential internships located beyond the area in which I reside, considering it is not an organized residential program.</p>
