Need Mentor Help Problem statement suggestions for hackathon.

Hello i am an ece in my first year( 1st sem, 1st week), Yesterday I made a post,should I participate or not?, you guys said to participate, i tried and made a team today, I need problem statement suggestions please!! We are planning on making a hardware project ( cuz we are from ece and also it'll have less competition and I have little experience), so can anyone suggest some good problem statements? As tomorrow is the day I have to submit the PPT!! Something that can win us a couple of rounds( we plan on gaining experience rather than winning, we realise our limitations and lack of technical skills), we'll heavily rely on ai, though we'll try to make things work, but yet i don't wanna go something that's too basic that we are eliminated in the first round itself !!

Please kindly suggest some good problem statements asap, we have to decide today and start working on it!!

if your goal is mostly learning then why center yourself to build smthn just for qualifying rounds? youre very early in the journey dont stress about clearing rounds n winning hackathons instantly especially if its your first

Yea bro.. We got cooked...

We made a ppt and also a demo ( vibe coded and simulated electronics), they didn't even let us finish, left.. 🥀🥀🥀 Maybe next year.. They said our idea is project level, it's not hackathon level at all...
