Where can aspiring programmer get a summer internship or part time internship now?
The kid's graduating in high school in May. He's got 800 math SAT (other scores all nearly that) and he's applying to many of the top computer science schools. He's won a couple of hackathons and has experience with java, c++, python, javascript, arduino, . He'd like to build experience and earn some money many of the school to which he's applying are ungodly expensive. He has a few more hackathons coming up. So perhaps some kind of connection might come about for a good showing there. But I wondered if the good programming folks of EE might have some job/internship seeking advice. Thanks!

@sdstuber the school does hire someone for some tech work. They also told me of an interesting program at google for kids who are graduating hs seniors who will being going into comp sci at college. But it looks like they are aiming to attract females and non-whites. So not sure if that's a viable alternative for him if an actual internship or coding summer job doesn't pan out.
and don't forget EE itself.
If you son has an EE account, he can turn on the "Hire Me" button.
There's no guarantee of work doing that, especially if he doesn't have any name recognition in the Topic Areas he works in; but it's a free option as long as he participates by answering questions.

And get this - right after I wrote this question I had a work friend at a pre-IPO tech firm say he's starting a company and can use coding help for equity stake. He knows kiddo is sharp and has time on his hands in the last semester of high school. Not sure if it will ever pay off. But even just the experience of working on a real project with the very latest web tools will be beneficial. Thanks for all the ideas as I'll have him try a few avenues.

My company is a relatively small holding in an enormous equity capital firm. So alas there is no scholarship program available to us. And by in large we don't have much call for coders. We really just use software.
