As someone applying for internships rn and has talked to recruiters, the expected order is: Education, Experience, Projects.
Not a huge deal at all but if you're from a decent university then making it standout is important. (This is for inter ships and new grad)

Just wanted to interject and ask, Am I from a decent university?
I've been thinking about trying to transfer to one a bit better but I dont know if it's worth the time / money
Eventually after your name, you can make a little statement of your motivation, like a personal "mission and vision" but be careful, that can be dangerous if you do not know what you are doing. I wouldn't do that for a junior position.
In your cover letter, keep it also short and simple: make emphasis in your motivation to work there and what you can offer.
The github profile does not add much, tbh.
Last but not least, but that is a very personal preference: I do not like the title "Resume" it is pretty obvious what it is, I prefer the format where your name is there.
