Gap year ideas (computer engineering)

Hi,

I’m an 18-year-old student from the UK. I’m starting a gap year now before going to university. I’m applying to competitive universities, (oxford, imperial, etc.) to do computer engineering. I took a gap year mostly so that I could focus on studying for my exams (A-levels) rather than juggling both that and university applications. I want to make the most out of this year to develop myself academically/professionally so I have something impressive to talk about if questioned in university/job interviews and also to have something worthwhile to add to my CV.

I’m thinking along the lines of placements, courses or certifications but I was looking for ideas for what would be some of the most impactful things that I could do. As long as its in the IT sector and challenging I’m happy with anything.

Thank you
