Summer Research Programs?
aantn writes "I'm currently looking for a science-related summer program. I'm an 11th grade Israeli high school student interested in computer science and robotics. I have a high GPA and take afternoon classes in computer science and mathematics at Israel's Open University. I have several years of experience with C, Python, C#, and Java. I'm actively involved in several open source and freelance projects. Through a program at my school, I will be entering Trinity College's Fire Fighting Robot contest later this year. I enjoy writing and liberal arts, but I'm not interested in a "Learn to Program" or any other "Learn to ______" summer program. I'm looking for something that will be academically challenging and research-oriented. My top choice would be a university research program in either computer science or robotics, but I'm also looking at other science-oriented programs. Does anyone have suggestions for such programs? I'm mostly looking in Israel and the United States, but I'd love to hear about programs in other countries which accept international students. If it's relevant, I have a US citizenship."
Dual Citizenship is a pretty great thing to have, but it shouldn't be listed as a grand life achievement. Its one of the greatest gifts that a parent can give a child. There are many ways, but the easiest is for the mother (a citizen of one country) to deliver the baby in another country. Presto! Dual citizenship. Its not something I would trumpet about, but its nice to have.
Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress at this period in history.
