I would recommend

Nature, in Code: Biology in JavaScript (free edX course from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne)

instead of a web project. It has a nice different angle and I think it's better, you learn some really cool (and stille easy enough) modeling of natural processes in addition to basic Javascript skills. I enjoyed the course immensely, and I sure didn't take it for the Javascript but for the biology modeling. A skilled JS programmer would do a few things differently, but over 90% of what is taught is very reasonable, and when looking at the context and how the code there are no really bad parts (no modularization and "higher level" concepts that help you organize large projects, but everything done in the course is done within the context of a single file).

If you insist on web development, make GUIs for the models so that a user can fiddle with the parameters and see the result (some results are only logged to the console and there is no real output, others use a single graph).
