Often things with manual labor are the best since it doubles as exercise as well as a great segway into socializing later.

I feel like the Internship Portal doesn't get NEARLY enough exposure or promotion within FRC. That might might be just my experience, or it may change from region to region, but I had never heard of this until I googled "robotics internship high school," and it was one of the first links that popped up. But yes, getting a job or internship is about as good a way for students to drive away the Summer CD Doldrums as any.
