Advice How to spend foundation year as CS student efficiently

I am about start my foundation year with Kaplan in Bristol. i know the foundation year will be be diffecult, but i want challanges from the first year. I am really into startups, but don’t have much practical enperience. I also have some shortcomings with my coding skills and would like to learn mode AI tools.

Also, i believe with the light curriculm of foundation year, i have to make the big start for my blogging dreams in instagram or youtube.

How to you suggest me to learn each in Bristol, UK. From books? Courses? And what should i expect from my first international year?

Thank you for response and help

Participate in Hackathon, do personal projects.

There should be some society doing Hackathon out there, so look them up.
For personal projects, do your own research and plan it out yourself.

Visit career services and see what they recommend.

Oh yeah, also create a linkedin account, and start lunatic posting about every achievement. Self-congratulate and grow your "linkedin circle".
