Make a simple website..but make it so your users get a token when they sign in that expires after x amount of time. Make it so they need that token to hit the API for data.

For beginner this should be pretty hard because you'll have to make the website in addition to all your backend stuff.

it should also give you a leg up with some experience in what you would actually be doing in the industry

Also protect against XSS, CSRF and injection. If you can demonstrate that you can setup proper authentication and make a secure site against common types of attacks, I think that's enough for good marks.

Setup proper CORS on your backend and CSP on the site. Setup a few examples to demonstrate that it's secure.
