Why Real-World Projects Matter
Every year, millions of students graduate with the same degrees and the same textbook projects. The ones who stand out are those who built something that solves a real problem. Recruiters don't care about your calculator app — they care about impact.
What Makes a Good Student Project?
A good project has three things: it solves a real problem, it demonstrates technical skills, and you can explain it clearly in an interview. The Problem Bank helps you find projects that check all three boxes.
For Hackathons
Hackathon judges look for novelty, impact, and execution. Projects from the Problem Bank are designed to score high on all three — they're real problems with clear impact, and they're scoped for weekend builds.
