You can put end date on your internship to show that you are available to work. You have good experience, but you could probably try to put in another project in the project section but it isn't necessary. You can also be more specific in your research position since the bullets for that sound pretty generic.

Thank you! So my research wasn’t a paid position, rather for academic elective credit. Could I still list as work experience or should it be grouped up with projects/extracurriculars?
Also, I made it pretty vague bc the experience wasn’t all that productive. It helped me get my first internship tho. If I can’t expand on it, would replacing it with a side project add more value?
And third, I’ve been debating on refining my education section because it feels like fluff. Is there any info on it you feel like that could be stripped?

You can change the section header from work experience to experience since the research is still at a university. I think research experience will be more valuable than projects in most cases because basically everybody has projects at this point. You can try to fit another side project but maybe with less bullets explaining it. GPA can be on the same line as computer science if you are gonna leave it on there. None of your courses were super special and are standard for cs grads so you can probably remove that line. You can leave in the organization section but you can probably list one or two more to make it look more substantial
