I would reccomend looking into any local coding groups or clubs, if you're a girl searching to see if there are any Girls Who Code branches in your area. Otherwise there are generally smaller highschool levels clubs for those sort of things.

There's the Girls Who Code program which is great to get involved in. The summer program is free, and the whole program is a non-profit. It can help increase connections through the programs amongst other things!

Hi! GenCyber has some stuff that is good for comp sci and in general, if you have a local university, researchers there might be interested in working with you if you want.
