As a freshman or sophomore, there are many opportunities that you can take advantage of. Below are some of the programs that we would recommend applying for as they are specifically catered for freshmans and sophomores. That said, if these don’t work out, please apply for startups too! You can learn a lot in smaller-sized companies and they often give a lot of ownership over the project you are doing. These experiences will be crucial when you are applying for junior year internships and full-time positions.
