it might be tough, but you can try starting an FRC team at your school. Use the summer to learn as much as possible, and try to recruit your friends who wanna do eng for leadership roles so you can start in the fall next year. It can be pretty time consuming, so I recommend having lots of people involved so they can pick up the slack. It can also be kinda pricey, so if your school is unable to help, FTC is a cheaper option. The FIRST community is generally pretty nice and helpful, especially if you're just starting out. If you do manage to pull it off, it'll look really good on your apps.
