Hi!! I'm also an aspiring CS major, and this is what i've found:

1. Take online courses or attend workshops to learn new programming languages such as Coursera, edX, and CodeAcademy.

2. Join a computer science club at your school.

3. Participate in hackathons. Hackathons are events where teams of students come together to work on a software project over a short period of time, usually a weekend. They are a great way to practice your coding skills, learn from others, and potentially win prizes.

4. Volunteer or intern at a tech company or non-profit organization.

5. Join a research group or work on a research project.

hope i helped :)
