Re: summer job

There are some excellent engineering "camps" sponsored by Johns Hopkins right up the road from you in Shady Grove. Also the Maryland Summer Centers (sponsored by the MD Dept of Ed.) have run engineering summer programs for at least the past 3 years. I'm not sure which age they stop at. Last summer, my youngest spent 3 weeks at the UMBC working on a biomedical engineering project. He was chosen for this because he had done one of the engineering summer centers at the Hopkins APL in the previous year. I've had to drive all over but he's had some great experiences. Many of these camps ask for teacher references, so make sure you are doing well in school.
Also, I've had many many wonderful jobs. They all had boring stuff included. It's called learning.
