You're correct, I should have been more clear.
I have several years of experience with C and have been using the other languages for 1-2 years.

How was your experience at the Weizmann Institute? At my physics teacher's advice, I'm looking into the Amos de-Shalit Science Workshop at Weizmann.

No, I don't expect a congratulations and never asked for one.
I appreciate the advice, but I'm already active in community programs and still have time to be with friends.
At the same time, I enjoy computers and robotics and I think I would enjoy a science-related summer more than any other program.

I'm an 11th grade Israeli high school student interested in computer science and robotics. I have a high GPA and take afternoon classes in computer science and mathematics at Israel's Open University. I have several years of experience with C, Python, C#, and Java. I'm actively involved in several open source and freelance projects. Through a program at my school, I will be entering Trinity College's Fire Fighting Robot contest later this year.
I enjoy writing and liberal arts, but I'm not interested in a "Learn to Program" or any other "Learn to ______" summer program. I'm looking for something that will be academically challenging and research-oriented. My top choice would be a university research program in either computer science or robotics, but I'm also looking at other science-oriented programs.
Does anyone have suggestions for such programs? I'm mostly looking in Israel and the United States, but I'd love to hear about programs in other countries which accept international students. If it's relevant, I have a US citizenship."
