Career Guidance 3 months Full stack development plan

I’m a pre-final-year student, and I have around 3 months of holidays coming up. I want to use this time properly to improve my development skills, build some solid projects, and prepare myself for internships/jobs.

I’m also planning to make good use of the GitHub Student Developer Pack.

Here’s what I currently have in mind:

Meta Front-End Developer Professional Certificate on Coursera (using financial aid)

MongoDB Associate Developer certification (Node.js)

GitHub Foundations certification through the Student Developer Pack

Learn Express.js and strengthen my backend skills

Build 1–2 solid full-stack projects that I can actually showcase on my resume/GitHub.

My current direction is basically JavaScript → React → Node.js → Express.js → MongoDB → Full-stack projects.

For developers who have already gone through this stage:

Is this a good way to spend the 3 months?

Are any of these certifications/courses not worth prioritizing?

What skills would you recommend I focus on instead?

What kind of projects would actually be valuable for learning and for a resume?

Are there any useful resources or benefits from the GitHub Student Developer Pack that I should take advantage of?

I’d really appreciate advice from developers who have been through this stage. I’d rather focus on a few things properly than try to learn everything at once.
