You can list this as an activity in the activity/extracurricular part of the commonapp and explain a bit in the additional information section! You could maybe write your essay about this if you want to go into a lot of detail and feel as though this has impacted you a lot.

Hi there @Prima279,

I agree with @lilye here - the Activities section is a good place to describe the scope of these projects, as well as the technical components and hard skills (i.e. programming languages) you obtained. You can also write about them at length in your essays.

Hope this helps!
