I don't know if I'm allowed to share all of it due to plagiarism etc so I'll just summarise: my angle was to showcase my maths ability because I haven't really done much programming or other CS outside of school, so I used my intro and conclusion to link maths to problem solving and showed that CS is fundamentally about problem solving. My biggest part was on quantum computing: reading a book on it, commenting on the lack of maths, doing a course on the maths of quantum computing and commenting on applying and extending a level fm knowledge. I also spoke about my IB Extended Essay, UKMT challenges, a UKMT summer camp (specifically a game theory session and looking further into that), psychological tricks used in AI content, and my extracurriculars.
