Extracurriculars for Mech Engineering Answered
I'm a sophomore in high school looking to study Mechanical Engineering once I go on to college. As far as academics go I believe I'm all good but my extracurriculars are lacking. I do a fair bit of CAD design and 3D printing for basic things around my house, but other than that there's not much else that I do. Any advice? Thanks in advance.

You should also consider doing an internship or passion project utilizing your skills. I know colleges would really like to see that you also help out your community.

It’s great that you’re already into CAD design and 3D printing! To boost your extracurriculars, consider joining or starting a robotics club, participating in engineering competitions, or working on personal projects like building a small robot or a Rube Goldberg machine. These activities can showcase your unique passion and skills in Mechanical Engineering. But, I will strongly suggest for an Internship.
