Cold email university labs -- they may have requirements for taking on students or know of programs you can apply to, or just need someone to help with washing glassware (yes, even high school students -- I did paid research in HS thru a program that doesn't exist anymore but I'm sure there are others).
Ask cities and towns in your area - local government often has internships. I worked in the city planning dept in high-school and it was interesting, well paid, and I made tons of good connections with people.
High school stem. You need practical, less abstract skills at this level. Don’t be the phd I can’t trust with a screwdriver. Get some hands on experience like working in a bicycle shop. It will give you some life long knowledge and you’ll meet some…interesting…people.

Looks like it might be for college students but it could be a place to start
Looks Boston specific, but you didn’t say where you lived, my company hires a bunch of interns from this group every year.

Not a fan of unpaid internships, because you should be paid regardless of the work you are doing. I personally would never take an unpaid internship.
Where do you live?

call local CNC shops and see if they will hire you for any 'go and grab this or that' position;
apply to home depot or lowes at least or even a hardware store;
you dont know how to do anything; why would someone pay you, only to have you leave
I don't think you know what "internship" means.
sometimes you need to get a stupid entry level job before you even qualify for an internship
