I think that for an internship, they will be more interested in your work ethic than your experience (however, your resume shows that you are foucused, which is a good trait).
Interns do all the grunt work so they won't need you for your expertise or experience or for your ideas, yet. But, they will want to be sure that you will show up on time, do the tedious and physically difficult tasks willingly with a good attitude, that you are a good team member and won't complain. So expect them to ask questions about how you would handle things you don't like to to and how you feel about that. Assure them that you are not a quitter when things get tough and that you are willing and actually looking forward to paying your dues.
