I'm also in the same boat but I did the mathematics of morality programme. I'm pretty sure you can but just put not known for the name of the company because I couldn't find LEAF in the drop down box.

That section is for monitoring uni outreach activities.

If it is relevant to the course you're applying for - cover it in your personal statement.

If it isn't, get your referee to include it.

Oh so would it only be useful to include activities done in Year 12 and above?

Specific uni outreach activities, whenever they were completed.

I did the same fellowship and put it in my personal statement since it was linked to my degree choice. I suggest you do the same in your application as it gives you more leeway to expand on what you learned from the experience and why it makes you a good candidate to study your subject at the degree level.

Hi - I'm considering applying to the LEAF programme. Did you find it useful? I like the AI or the Mathematics of Morality options.

It was interesting (I did DDAI). I got to see some different perspectives on things I already knew a bit about, and I learned entirely new things as well. That being said, you only get out of the programme as much as you are willing to invest your time. If you plan on doing the bare minimum to complete the programme and get a certificate, you likely won't get as much out of it as compared to if you had pursued some other activities instead. If you decide to invest lots of time, do lots of the extension activities, stay active on the discord, etc. then it is a very good experience.
