attending a relevant club/society at school. If there isn't one, then starting your own would be even more impressive, if that is something you are passionate about.

Personal projects, such as building Raspberry Pi/Arduino devices, programming games, animating, making a website, etc. These don't only demonstrate your interest in the subject, but also your values and commitment and are probably the best thing to include into your PS.

Hackathons, datathons, ethical hacking competitions - there are many in-person and online events for all levels of abilities. Not only they are a fun and amazing learning experience, but winning, and even just attending one is a great thing to mention.
