Summer work F1-Visa in America

Hi, I am comming this summer on a F1-student visa, and if possible it would be awesome to work or do jsut anything. However, as I see it, it is veyr strict to not do work, even free or just shadowing from my interpretation. Has anyoen done something like this while beeing in the US on a summerschool, to "kinda" have a internship? Thank you for all responses and replies!
