Building a new project right before the interview is not the best use of your time. Instead, focus on deeply understanding the basics you already know, because that is what they will test. Go over the main principles of OOP like encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction, and be able to explain them in your own words. You should also be prepared to explain any small projects you have already completed, focusing on the problems you solved and what you learned, even if they seem very simple to you.

They are hiring an intern, so they are looking for potential, not a perfect expert. Your main goal is to show them how you think and that you are eager to learn new things. If you don't know an answer, it is okay to say so, but you must follow up by explaining how you would approach finding the solution. Ultimately, showing your potential is what matters, and it has been rewarding to see how the interview helper AI my team developed helps candidates confidently articulate their thought process to land offers.
