My friend, Clint Rutkas, is heading down to Maker Faire this weekend with his half finished skateboard segway. Doing events like this is not only fun, but can be a great resume building event. Not only does it show that you have a passion for technology, but is an invaluable networking tool. Speaking from experience at Imagine Cup, I met so many people who I will be keeping in contact with that I would not trade it for the world. If you ever have the ability to participate in it, I would highly recommend it.
