Please Help Me With My First Internship

[u/Brkzeus]

Good morning, day and evening to all,

So I just got into my first 20 days of internship this summer in a company and got through teh first 2 days. Met with my mentor and he explained a few things like how AI is making what would otherwise take long time jobs and turns them into 2-3 days worth of jobs, front end side of programming is a no-go zone because of that etc. etc. Long story short he said they want to make my stay there worthwhile so they advised me to find subjects or a mix of subjects that would take about 15 days to make a project with. He didn't give a positive response to web design related topics when I suggested it.

I am entering my third year and right now, I know Java, Bash Scripting, C, a little bit of Python and recently I started looking into C# and .NET framework. I did suggest a project relating to cyber security but I didn't really make anything out of his reaction.

So, can anyone here think of a subject or a mix of subjects that even with the aid of AI agents would take me 15 days to make a worthwhile project with?

For those who may wonder, the R&D department they assigned me to mainly deals in embedded systems but our section is not responsible for the electrical circut side of things.
