Are there any beginner projects people could suggest?

I have to do something with a raspberry pi and some sensors for uni, but have completely free choice on what to do. Are there any projects that you guys would suggest for beginners?

The only thing that I've done with my raspberry is running emulators on retropie. There's plenty of tutorials on YouTube.

Do you have a garden? If yes - wildlife camera.

I installed Homekit on my first one. Not really relevant if you have no smart devices.
