long story short, after undergrad, one of my parents got sick, so I decided to spend time being a caregiver. We got lucky enough to move to a state with a better support system that happened to be close to Purdue, so I went to get my Masters there. I rode out the extra time so unfortunately the Masters took about 4 years. Unable to get more internships during Masters since I was swamped with care-giving, but I kept interviewing to keep my skills sharp.

Several things to note:

I read through the Wiki, and I know it says one page unless you have years of experience, but my resume has gotten reviewed by my undergrad/grad career centers, all of them said with the content I listed, the length is fine. It's gotten me interviews at Disney, SpaceX, Tesla, Apple, etc, but I'm open to hearing arguments on bringing it down to one page despite getting interviews at these companies, as I haven't been told by anyone yet to bring it down.
During the Masters, I chose classes that were project focused, that took a full semester to work on, and I put in my full effort. I listed all of my class projects, as my intention is to try to fill in the work gap during my Masters.
I know my high school stuff is outdated, but I was asked to talk about these in my SpaceX/Apple interviews, so there's a part of me that wants to keep it in.
I didn't include personal projects done during my Masters but that can be included if it's helpful.

This is honestly my first pass, for full time roles at least, but my main concern here is balancing the inclusion of my semester long projects, length of the resume, and trying not to be a red flag for companies due to the prolonged Masters duration. Didn't include the caregiving part in the resume, unsure about this part.
