Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences. (150 word limit)
During my 11th grade summer, I was accepted into the [name] School Summer Academy, where I learned to create iPhone apps. Before [name] School, I had coded in Java, HTML/CSS, and Javascript, but Make School convinced me to become a software engineer. Make School expanded my knowledge and allowed me to create games that I could instantly publicize through the Apple app store.
By the end of the course, I had created two iPhone games: QuizPlay (play games and study flashcards at the same time) and Appliance Smash (tap and swipe to vent your frustration on unruly appliances). It was exhilarating being one of the 10 people chosen out of more than 200 students to present my app to the audience at [name] School’s Demo Day. [name] School allowed me to explore my interest and learn fantastic new things about the intricacies of a topic I love: programming.
