\begin{enumerate}
|
||||
\item I founded the Cricket Club at my current high school. As a founder, I was responsible for
|
||||
popularizing the club itself by recruiting members and advertising through Instagram and word-of-mouth. I
|
||||
organized practice sessions and I had to act as both a player and a coach, teaching new players the rules and
|
||||
pushing them through the sport's steep learning curve. Each practice itself proved a hurdle, as I had to
|
||||
find enough people to play at a common place and time, manage equipment, and ensure that everyone was engaged.
|
||||
Due to the nature of a first year club, I had to help bridge the high delta between experienced and new players,
|
||||
ensuring that everyone had fun while still being challenged. Then, I had to organize matches with other
|
||||
local high school teams, which involved coordinating with their club leaders, arranging transportation, and
|
||||
managing logistics. Through sponsorships from local businesses and colleges (UTD, RICE, DBU), I was able to
|
||||
fund equipment and provide support for club matches.
|
||||
\item I serve as the Co-Captain and Software Lead for my school's First Tech Challenge (FTC) Robotics team.
|
||||
As the only programmer of our initially rookie team, I was fully writing out every line of code for our robot.
|
||||
However, funds became a major hurdle, so I also filled in to help secure a \$750 sponsorship from Texas Instruments
|
||||
through outreach events. As our team grew, I had to take on recruiting of new members, carefully selecting students who
|
||||
would be a good fit for our programming and engineering needs. Once our team reached 5 programmers, I fully
|
||||
transformed our repository into a GitHub organization, with multiple repositories
|
||||
for each team member to experiment with
|
||||
hands-on. I also had to delegate specific tasks and manage deadlines to ensure that our software development stayed on track.
|
||||
For the FTC competition, I was also in charge
|
||||
of documenting our software iterations and innovations, which proved crucial in winning multiple awards
|
||||
for software design and innovation.
|
||||
\item I am the Vice President (and former underclassmen president) of my school's Science Fair Club.
|
||||
As an officer, it is my role to fully lead and plan our club's biweekly lunch meetings. This involves brainstorming engaging
|
||||
activities with other officers, and preparing 35-40 minutes detailed presentations on various aspects of science fair projects.
|
||||
I have prepared extensive materials on project brainstorming, project methodology, data analysis, and trifold tips to help guide
|
||||
over 90 active club members. Additionally, I help students one-on-one through email or in-person (after meetings) to share
|
||||
my experience to help students make the right decisions. Finally, as a student who has been intimidated by
|
||||
the science fair process, I plan and cater my presentations to help lower the barrier to entry for new students and underclassmen,
|
||||
recruiting members by making science fair more approachable.
