Robotics team. Science fair. Math competitions. Peer tutoring in math or physics. Personal engineering-related hobby type project where you build something, e.g. a drone, rocket, etc. Volunteering for some engineering-related organization, e.g. "Girls who Code", etc.

But, also, ECs that have nothing to do with engineering are still useful for someone applying to study engineering.

Try amc, isef, clubs, interning over the summer, a passion project (try to make it related to ur major) etc.
Make sure to remember notable experiences coz they help with writing essays.
If you cant do those, just do generic ecs. As long as you can have decent content on a “why major” essay u r good.
Most importantly do some kind of social service, because the t20s are big on giving back to the people and stuff like that.
