I'm also looking for a summer internship.
I've been programming for the past 4 years or so (Python, Ruby, node.js, HTML5/CSS/JS, a lot of web tech). Here's my website (http://jawerty.github.io) and Github (https://github.com/jawerty) if anyone is interested.

I know that Khan academy is actively looking for summer interns. Mattermark (YC W13) is also looking for summer interns right now (found in the jobs section of this site).
Another great place to check for internships is angel.co, ventureloop, and also the great HN thread "Who's Hiring April 2014".
Another trick I use to get summer internships is by emailing small companies, (who usually do not have the staff/resources to post on job sites) in the tech industry, and ask them about possible internships. While this approach certainly doesn't work for everyone, the networking/connections you can make are well worth the effort even if you don't land a job.

As a Canadian student with no previous experience working in the US, I find it nearly impossible to get an internship at startups in the states. I'm not sure if it's my own problem or it's because of visa/relocation costs, I have no trouble landing interviews with Canadian companies. :(
Any fellow Canadian students have successful experience getting an internship in the states, and would like to share?

We will be launching our summer intern program next week, July 7th to mid September based in London (will fly in non-UK based interns).
Project just funded but still under partial wraps, deals with Religion (almost all of them), technology, big data, behavioural design and all sorts of interesting stuff with a diverse range of colleagues.
Will be immense fun, drop me a mail on [email protected] if you'd like to receive the info once it becomes public.

Looking for a summer internship as well. Currently studying at the University of Calgary, just finished my second year. I've been programming a bit longer than that however, and I do most things in Python, Java or Qt. I know a bit of C++ and I'm currently learning some HTML5 stuff. My github is here if anyone is interested: https://github.com/krruzic (only a few projects there).

I'm coding in C, PHP, Python, Javascript. I'm doing a master of cryptography in Bordeaux (check my blog! www.cryptologie.net) and I have several apps online. My last one is www.3pages.fr that is being used by ~100 of people to write everyday.
