extracurricular opportunities for a year 12?

So i started year 12 recently and i've been wanting to apply for different programmes or courses that could help make me a more appealing candidate and also allow me to explore my interests. My issue is that while im interested in getting a career in science i don't care for the medical field, nor finance or law which is what most programmes seem to be about. I was wondering if anyone knew of things i could possibly apply for with that in consideration?

work experience is great too, if you can find some for the career you’re looking into. maybe make a linkedin and connect to students around your age that have been in your position that have done cool work experiences, and stuff that made them stand out. Also connecting with science professionals on there.

STEM Up | Study at Bristol | University of Bristol
STEM SMART | Undergraduate Study (cam.ac.uk)
Food science and nutrition summer school 2025 - STEM Outreach Team (leeds.ac.uk)
Brookes Summer Schools 2025 - Oxford Brookes University
etc

Def apply to summer schools too through Sutton trust. They will be beneficial in giving you a chance to explore different careers AND almost always give you a reduced offer for the university that you’re taking the summer school with. So for example if you wanted to apply for med or dent (Ik you aren’t but this is the only one I can think of sorry lol), you could apply for a summer school with university of Newcastle on Sutton trust and then you would complete it during July or six weeks holidays it’s literally like a week residential doing all sorts of stuff learning about the university and the course and the career you want to do and you get to speak to students and professionals in that field of work and practice what they do. And they give you a reduced offer up to 2 or 3 grades lower than standard entry requirements for that course and that uni. And writing about it in your personal statement is great. So apply to some summer schools on Sutton trust

I applied for Sutton trust pathways to law with LSE and got rejected but they accepted me into their online programme. Is this still useful and does it still look good?
