Pick out some local companies you would be interested in working as an intern at? Stop by see if you can get a tour, make connections, inquire if they have an internship program.

Most fun/tech companies love helping kids. We coach a lego robotics team and have gotten lots of tours, demos and even a meeting space for our team at a local startup.

All by calling, stopping by, following up and asking politely.

An internship would be a little different, but if you get to know people at a company it makes it much easier.

As an extension of that, make sure you figure out your pitch!

- What have you learned on your own?

- What excites / interests you?

- What do you hope to learn?

- Why is [company] the right fit for you?

- What does success look like at the end of your internship?

- How much time can you commit to an internship?

- What sort of compensation, if any, do you need?

Thanks! (to you and GP) I've been putting off actually calling companies for a while now; I'll definitely try it soon.
