CSSI as Google
There are three summer programs for students interested in Computer Science;
Google Summer Code is a global, online program pairing new open source contributors with mentors from an open source organization that welcome them into their community and guide them through a 12+ week coding project.
Google’s Online Challenge is a platform that presents a fair, unbiased opportunity for candidates to engage in Google’s hiring or developmental program. It provides a scalable solution for candidate screening and development.
Cloud Technical Residency (CTR) is on a mission to change the world of enterprise computing, and CTR have a front row to the action. During the 12-month rotational program, residents help shape and execute strategies to help customers “go Google.”
Cyber Defense Training Camp
Cyber Defense Training Camp is an intermediate level (some technical experience is required) seven-day residential summer program for both male and female students. Students will have the opportunity to expand their knowledge of cybersecurity and gain practical skills through instruction by an experienced security professional, while living on the UMD campus. Students learn about career options in the field, take at least one field trip and hear from a variety of speakers to learn more about how to prepare to enter this exciting profession.
Engineering Innovation
Engineering Innovation is an exciting, college-level, summer program for motivated high school students with an aptitude in math and science and an interest in (or curiosity about) engineering. This program has been available to high school students since 2006. In the program, students learn to think and problem-solve like engineers and have the opportunity to earn Johns Hopkins University (JHU) credit.
By applying knowledge of math and science to labs and hands-on projects, the concepts learned in high school classrooms are linked to real-world practice. Additionally students’ confidence grows as they attend college-level lectures, solve problems, test theories, and ultimately learn to think like engineers.
Over this four — or five—week (depending upon the site) program, students complete lab activities in civil, chemical, electrical/computer, mechanical engineering and materials science. They also prepare a presentation in response to a Request for Proposal, learn about engineering economics, write a research paper, take weekly quizzes, and complete a comprehensive final exam.

John Hopkins ASPIRE
The ASPIRE program at APL allows high school juniors and seniors to experience and explore STEM careers before committing to an area of study in college. During the intensive summer session and the longer academic year session, ASPIRE interns are paired with APL staff mentors to complete projects, solve problems, and learn and apply crucial technical and interpersonal skills in a hands-on, professional environment.
The ASPIRE program is an unpaid, holistic learning experience and is not a job. ASPIRE students must be able to work independently, communicate with APL staff members and mentors, persist when faced with challenges, and continually think outside the box.
ASPIRE aims to provide an accessible, inclusive, and supportive space to learn. All students, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or socio-economic status can be successful in the ASPIRE program. The primary goal of the program is not to test and evaluate students, but to offer a supportive environment to learn more about STEM skills and careers.
The ASPIRE program is competitive, but does not prioritize applicants with the highest GPA, the most STEM experience, or the strongest resume. Please see more about the selection process here. Applying does not guarantee acceptance. Our current acceptance rate is approximately 15%-20%. You can apply, here.
Web services Intern Program (MCPS)
Since the MCPS Web’s beginnings in 1995, student interns have played a major role in the development of the web’s technology, design, and content. They continue to contribute to help us make progress on many projects and to develop their own professional skills.
