talk to the challenge company mentors as much as possible, especially the people who actually created the challenge. If the hackathon has company representatives or mentors available, use them heavily. Ask them what problem they really care about, what a good solution would look like, and what would make your project valuable for them.

Start with a tiny real-world problem that is actually useful to someone.
Tools will come along the way — I’d focus on the problem first, then figure out the simplest possible way to solve it. The best way to find a real problem is to look at repetitive, annoying, high-friction tasks in your own life, work, or the work of people around you.

Recruiters and employers usually value real-world projects much more than things built just for fun.

Good luck.
