I had the honour to be elected as the Aether House Captain for my school. I will be heading the house along with my Vice-Captains and Prefects. As a student council member, I will also help faciliate school activities and events such as ensuring a peaceful recess, the club sessions, etc.

I led the SFHS C.O.D.E. Hack 2022, 3rd edition of the event as its Senior Organizer. From 150 participants in our 1st year to 300 participants, the Organizing Committee has nurtured this event with their best. The most important responsibility that I shouldered this year, was to inculcate the skills I have acquired in the 3 years to the next set of Organizers. It is the legacy we wish to continue as it is not a temporary thrill for the participants and Organizing Members, it is a welcome to the world of Technology.

As the Senior year approached its half-way mark, it became more than clear that starting a Yearbook for our school was needed. Thus, the Pulse team has started this initiative and will be publishing the first official Yearbook for Strawberry Fields High School. I was in charge of the designing and creative aspect of this edition.

Livelderly is a digital platform designed to cater to the needs of the elders of our society by bringing them closer to technology via a user-friendly and easy to navigate interface. It is based on SDG 3: Good Health and Well Being, where the main focus is to help combat physical and mental health issues of the elderly.

In today’s dynamic world, we must constantly be in pursuit of new knowledge and skills to ensure our success. Courses By You is an initiative to encourage sharing of knowledge. We have hosted various courses and we also host special courses for underprivileged students. Courses By You also partners up with various NGOs to help the cause of education for everyone.

In 2021, we hosted the 2nd edition of our national online Hackathon. The spirit of the C.O.D.E. Hack lies in its diversity and the ability to showcase how Computer Science ties all fields together. As a Junior Organizer, I was to manage the internal working of the event. There were around 10 Heads of Departments, whom my fellow organizers and I were to oversee, along with more than forty officials. In this edition, we had a total participation of over 200 participants.

As students of the 21st Century, the digital age, we must possess the skills required for the modern world. To test these essential skills, we hosted the first virtual edition of the Cryptic Quiz. Cryptic 2.0 was organised by Aadit Bansal, Aaditya Sharma, Ahan Jain and I, where we designed with hopes to stray from the typical quiz and enter unexplored areas. The quiz was a big hit within the school community, even online we were able to engage

not only the finalists of the quiz but also the audience.

Mathematics is an essential skill considering the wave of automation that is overtaking all industries. Yet, most students tend to shy away from it, thinking they either lack the skills for it, or they just do not find it as appealing. The Math Pirater Quiz aimed to showcase how math infiltrates every part of our lives and how it has an exciting side to it. As the co-organiser, I was to prepare the participants, arrange the questions, and the overall event.

Being the Vice President of my school's first Computer Science Club, I was to coordinate various club activities such as webinars, sessions and discussions. Session topics ranged from Machine Learning in Python to JavaScript Animation to 3D rendering through Blender. Our aim as the club leadership was to give the members a well-rounded introduction to all aspects of the IT field. We were able to host not only almost 20 sessions, but also a national level hackathon.

To propagate such necessary values of being a responsible Digital Citizen in the student community, a classmate and I organised the Digital Citizenship Week 5 Series Competition. They were themed around the various components of digital life, such as Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity, Appearance Versus Reality on Social Media and more. They were able to let their creativity show in the format they were most comfortable in, whether it be music composition, public speaking, poster designing, etc.
