I don't do much club stuff other than USACO, i tried robotics for some hands on experience but didn't like the people of the club nor the way it was managed, but I love building impactful passion projects on my own that have real world uses, like incontinence trackers that I built that I got a patent on. Does anybody know some prestigious submission based competitions or prestigious programs for someone like me? USACO totally gives me awards, but not with the same hands-on work and it's extremely hard to take part in because of the time requirement. I'm into both hardware and software, so passion projects give me an opportunity to do both without being forced into a team I dislike, like in Robotics.
