What extracurriculars would be best and how to start?
Hi, I'm in 9th grade. I'm interested in smart hardware and intelligent automation—building physical systems that use software to interact with the real world. So, I have a few options.... I already do private vocal lessons and karate. I want to develop skills that enable me to participate in clubs such as science fair or doing independent robotics projects at home. I'm also looking out for coding projects, math and science written exams. I want to decide on 3-5 clubs to continue for a long time so I have a clear trajectory and story around my extracurriculars. Thoughts on which ones might be good and how to start?

How can I pivot to a Master's in Bioinformatics if I failed high school Physics and must take a non-science Bachelor's degree?
I am an international student thinking of studying in Vietnam for my undergraduate degree, with the ultimate goal of pursuing a Master's in Bioinformatics later. My high school subject combination includes English, Biology, Chemistry, Physical Education, Artificial Intelligence, and Physics, but I completely failed my Physics exam. Because of this failure, traditional science and biotechnology undergraduate paths are entirely closed to me, even though my final high school certificate will officially show an overall passing status. I need to know which undergraduate courses are possible for me to take that completely bypass high school physics and core science eligibility requirements. Specifically, is it possible to switch from a non-science undergraduate major—like Information Technology or Computer Applications—into a computational biology or bioinformatics postgraduate program down the line, and how graduate admissions in Vietnam view a tech major who has high school biology credits but a failed physics grade?
Is AI silently ending human creativity?
Artificial Intelligence is growing rapidly every year. Today, I learned artificial intelligence could create HTML code to handle the front-end part of a website; way better than I ever could writing the code myself. This compels me that AI is the end of human creativity, because it produces tasks with superb quality without having to use critical thinking or creativity. I wanted to become a software developer, but now I feel I need to change careers because AI practically took my job. What is a job in the tech industry you feel AI couldn't conquer and take place over people?

How should I start to learn coding?
I am a high school senior planning on going to UIUC next year as a Computer Science + Linguistics major and have interest in the field of natural language processing, particularly research oriented roles. I don't have any coding experience right now, but I want to make sure I don't wait too long to start doing research and internships once I go to college. I assume that at least some coding experience is a prerequisite to almost all of those opportunities and thus want to do some self study over the summer. How should I start learning and what goals should I aim to accomplish over the summer? I think that I'm intelligent enough to handle fairly rigorous timelines and material (I've generally had very little trouble on school work thus far and got a 36 ACT without studying), but I still need to start from 0. My main goal is to prepare myself to be qualified to start undergrad research and take advantage of whatever other opportunities would help prepare me for a career or to try to get into a top PhD program after UIUC as early as I can, especially since I struggle with responsibility and don't want a time crunch in my later years.
