Super-curriculars are academic (or at least learning) activities outside of the school curriculum.

That could be reading a relevant book or article, watching a TED talk, listening to a pod cast, doing a MOOC, etc. Anything which furthers your knowledge of your target subject over and above what's taught in school / college.

First and foremost, what course are you looking at?

Secondly, take a look at this for inspiration: https://www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/sites/www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/files/publications/super-curricular_suggestions.pdf
