Google 2013 Summer Opportunities for Freshmen and Sophomores

Check out these awesome summer 2013 internships from Google for freshmen and sophomore college students.

Google is invested in increasing the pipeline of future computer scientists and software developers, particularly those who are historically underrepresented in the field. Many aspiring computer scientists could benefit from a program that bridges the gap between academic study and a professional internship.
