Summer internships, opportunities and programs for 2019, part 1

I know, I know, it's hideously early to think about next summer considering that *this* summer isn't over yet, but the enrollment periods start now, so, here's some information for programs I've thought are interesting, ranging from free to "how much is a kidney worth?'. 

Interested in a free 6 week course for gifted students at Cornell University?
