I don't know which to do this summer :/. This is only my sophomore summer so its not really a big deal, but I dont want to regret my decision. The nanotech one pays me 500, but the other one I have to pay 890 to attend. On the other hand, the expensive one lets me choose 2 research projects that I want to do, while the nanotechnology one limits me to the materials and engineering area. (which is still pretty cool.)
I dont know how to say this, but I dont want to go to a nonintensive research thing, and I cant get a grip on how successful these kids are at what happens at each program. (for instance, i dont want to do this for the sake of saying that I did research, but so I can enter my paper in a competition or something.)

Any advice?

(By the way mods, sorry for posting url's but I didnt really want to describe each program in detail, and I figured since it wasnt a competition site with CC it was ok.)

Oh wow, that's a tough call...they both look really interesting. Congratulations, and good luck deciding. Ask your teachers what they recommend, at least, that's what I did.
