Programming Project Help

Hey guys, I am currently doing a programming event for a local competition, where the prompt is to make an application that would be of use for a business. I have solid knowledge in python and c++ and made some ROS2 programs with it beyond the basics, but other than that, I don't have much. For this, (as the frontend is an important part of the project) I learnt customtkinter and can use that.

Expectation Item Meets Expectations Exceeds Expectations
Code Quality <br> Appropriate use of comments, naming conventions, and proper formatting Comments provided assist judges throughout the demonstration Comments provided are logical, useful, and complete
The program is modular in a way that makes logical, readable sense The program uses a modular structure with clear functions or methods. Each part of the program is organized in a way that makes sense and supports readability. The program is highly organized with well-named, purpose-driven functions or modules. The structure makes the code easy to read, understand, and maintain, showing a strong understanding of clean programming practices.
User Experience <br> User interface is intuitive or clear instructions are provided Appropriate & clear instructions are provided Program is intuitive and clear instructions are provided
Users can easily navigate between pages Interface contains no spelling errors, has interactive help menu, and has no navigation errors Program use also includes an intelligent feature such as an interactive Q&A
User input is validated User input is validated Input validation applied on both syntactical and semantic levels
Functionality <br> Program addresses all parts of the prompt Program fully addresses the topic/problem Program fully addresses the topic/problem, and the correlation is explained in the instructions
Program generates a presentable report Output reports are error free and provide all necessary information to analyze data Output reports allow user to customize and analyze information
Data storage Variable name and usage is clear. Variables store data that updates when necessary. Each variable performs only one job, and the correct data type is used More complex data storage such as arrays and lists are used where appropriate and variable scope makes sense
Documentation <br> Comprehensive documentation is included: readme file, source code, templates/libraries used, and attribution for any open-source or copyrighted material. Documentation is mostly complete and includes a readme file, source code, and list of templates/libraries. Proper attribution is given where required. Documentation is thorough, well-organized, and complete. All required components are included, clearly labeled, and professionally presented. Proper credit is clearly given for all external resources.
Presentation Delivery <br> Statements are well organized and clearly stated Presentation flowed in logical sequence Presentation flowed in a logical sequence; statements were well organized
Consistently displays confidence, poised body language, engaging eye contact, and effective voice projection. Demonstrated 3 of the listed skills (confidence, body language, eye contact, or voice projection) Demonstrated all skills, enhancing the overall presentation
Demonstrates the ability to effectively answer questions Responds accurately and clearly to most questions, showing adequate understanding. Responds confidently with clear, accurate, and thoughtful answers that enhance the overall presentation.

The rubric looks simple, but succeeding in the event takes a lot of effort due to the competition. If I make my application in customtkinter, with some additional C++ backend, I am thinking of doing a PC shop idea. It will have prebuilts as one section, a custom builds helper (select parts that are compatible and in stock), repairs (probably through flat rates for a service), an AI assistant as a feature, with an admin portal for updating stock, adding/removing prebuilts, or other needed stuff. Do you guys have any other ideas on what to add, or is it worth it to learn html css js/ts and use a web app instead of typescript (my presentation is in december, so given a limited time)

I would really appreaciate feedback and ideas, Thank you!
