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?

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.

Hi, I am a student from crane middle school and here is me trying to get help to be a robotic engineer.
Lately I’ve just been fixing random stuff like computers and electronics whenever they break.am very interested in engineering because I love building things with Legos. I enjoy designing robots, but sometimes another project I work on doesn't really come out as good as I hoped. When a robot doesn't work the first time, I have to look at the parts again and figure out which piece is causing the problem so I can fix it. This process helps me understand how the AI and the mechanics work together. I want to learn how to make my designs more reliable and professional. What skills should I practice now to get better at designing robots that actually work the first time?
