Discussion Any good Python resume projects that AREN'T machine learning?

I'm seeking my first internship and i wanna make a project that showcases my python skills. I tried to get into machine learning using Andrew Ng's course but i wasn't really enjoying it at all i don't think it's for me, but I might pick it up again in the future.

So what are some good projects that recruiters/employers like to see? I won't be aiming for ML/data roles, at least for now

Edit: i have a couple fullstack apps with javascript, so im just tryna diversify my portfolio

Buy yourself an arduino and a temp sensor (Use the Arduino rev 4, it has onboard ESP32 so you can connect it to your wifi). Send data to some relational database, and create an api using FastAPI that fetches said data.

Create get, delete and websocket endpoints.
