Ask HN: How to get a high school internship?
4 points by trevcanhuman on Feb 21, 2022 | hide | past | favorite
Hello there. I am a high school senior and am interested in computer programming and linux system administration.

Sometimes I like to check the internship section on hiring positions available in the monthly _Who's hiring_ post.

But every internship has certain specifications which usually include (at least) 4th semester of an undergraduate degree, etc. As you may imagine, I am yet to be in that position. I will be starting a CS Engineer Degree in the Fall of 2022, but I would be quite interested in gaining some experience from any Computer Science real workplace worlds.

I am looking for suggestions on how to start looking for these kinds of internships, from what I've been looking online I haven't really found anything relevant. I'd be open for any positions (physically) near Mexico City and/or virtually with international companies or even US! (I am a US citizen if that matters).

I am not (currently) living in the United States. I was raised and born there for four years but all my education has been in Mexico, near Mexico City.

If you'd like some tldr'd CV it's:

- Highschool PrepaTec Toluca - Tec de Monterrey. 2019-2022

- Local Robotics Highschool team. Known as TECBOT [0]. I currently lead the teaching of rookies for the programming area and have been on the team since 2019 (since the end of middle school).

  - tecbot github: [4]
- Github: [1] trevcan.

- Self-hosted server website: [2]

  - I have a blog @ `/blog`, and a 

  - git server @ [3]
- I'll be starting a CS engineering degree in the fall of 2022 at Tec de Monterrey Campus Toluca (a.k.a. ITESM, near Mexico City).

- English. Almost native. Latest score: C1 (made less than six months ago).

- Also speak native Spanish.
