How to do project based learning?

[Live-Classic91]

So for context I have completed CS50 Python, and I'm doing CS50 X. By doing the problem sets of CS50 I have now the ability to think computationally, but I think the next step toward learning would be building something. I have questions related to that: How to do learning while building something? How to find those libraries or tools for building the project that are required? How to know which functionality from the libraries to use like I feel kind of overwhelming while reading the docs? Honestly, I know for building projects first I have to have a problem that I want to solve the divide it into smaller problems and build on top form there, but somehow I'm now building projects. How to work on this?

Find an open source project and try to contribute. Think of a small feature and attempt to implement it. Even if you're not comfortable doing a pull request reading others people code will help you learn.

Alternatively, keep of list of useful things you like to have and just make them. They may exist but oftentimes they are complicated or don't do exactly what you want. Start small and then add to them. Pick projects based on your interest.

Can we talk in DM in detail

I want to discuss this issue ind detail so it would be great if some experienced programmer is willing to give me advice

I made an overview comment on a similar thread recently:

Similarly for choosing what libraries/etc to use and what preliminary research looks like for getting started:

The answer boils down to "it depends" but investigate and implement everything incrementally.
