Advice
I would advise anyone who's interested in a Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) to apply to as many as they can manage, because they are competitive.

What I liked
I really enjoyed how I was able to mentor high school students and prepare them for college, as well as expose them to STEM. I specifically focused on underwater robotics.
What I wish was different
Not anyone's fault, but a class like robotics is much easier and more engaging in person than it is virtually.
Advice
To be genuine and push yourself to be the best so these students can look up to you
