Opt-in phishing awareness simulator
Placeholder idea. Sends fake simulated phishing emails to opted-in members and scores how the club is doing at spotting/reporting them.
WireGuard mesh linking club nodes

Discord bot for cert-prep support and reminders
Placeholder Idea: Posts daily flashcard questions for specified certification members are studying, and DMs a reminder before every Study Jam.

4 node rPi compute cluster
Placeholder idea: A physical Pi cluster members build from scratch used to teach distributed job scheduling and give students something to point to in interviews. But with Pi costs maybe swap to arduino or esp32...
Document club or major homelab rack start to finish
Placeholder idea: A running log of cabling, cooling, and power budgeting, for the secondhand server from clublab or a major homelab.
Practice enviroment for helpdesk tickets
Placeholder Idea: A simulated ticket queue with intentionally broken Windows and Linux VMs so members can practice diagnosing real-world issues before their first internship or job. Can set snapshots and save points, and have increasing difficulty (i.e printer issues or ip change to 169.254.0.0, etc).
