How can I get into robotics/computer programming before college?
I'm 14 (about to become 15), and have pretty much narrowed my career choices into two major categories: biochemistry and computers (more specifically, robotics or programming). I know that there is almost no way to get near a lab for biochemistry until I'm 18, and by then, I'll probably have started applying to colleges. Fortunately, I know that there is a way to get into robotics and programming before I'm 18, and maybe I can even get an internship in a couple of years. Unfortunately, I have almost no knowledge of any programming language. I've looked into Microsoft Dream Spark, but as of now, it's not available to high school students. I was wondering what resourses there are to learn about a couple of common languages (e.g. Java and C++) and to possibly get a part-time job/internship (pay would be nice but not necessary.) I live in outside Philadelphia and a few minutes from Princeton, so I hope there are some camps or workshops someone could point me to. Thanks in advance!
Online courses (as long as they're cheap or free) would be acceptable, too.
Thanks again!

Do you have a robotics or computer club at your school? Join it or if you don't have one, get some friends and ask your computer science/math/physics etc. teacher to start one with you.
