software engineering projects on a resume for IB

I am a sophomore studying CS at a target school. I want to go into investment banking but, being a sophomore, my resume is looking a little empty. I have some software engineering "side projects" that I did that I think are decently impressive / gained some traction. Is it okay for me to keep these on my resume if my goal is to recruit for finance? thanks in advance
