PlatformIO

Personally, when trying to get into a new language, I like to use https://www.projecteuler.net. It's a nifty way to try to use features of a new language. I tried it with go an learned quite a bit about channels and goroutines to optimize solving problems. The other place I see C++ making gains is in IOT. With https://platformio.org it makes it a breeze to get a compiler to target the platform you want. ESP32 modules have wifi/bluetooth and are $19 for 3 on Amazon and programmable over usb. https://www.amazon.com/D-FLIFE-ESP-WROOM-32-Bluetooth-Development-Compatible/dp/B08RDDR5BB/.

OpenFrameworks

If you're interested in working with graphics or sounds, I'd recommend checking out openFrameworks, which bills itself as a "creative coding toolkit". https://openframeworks.cc For a taste of what is possible with openFramworks, take a peek at this youtube series by Lewis Lepton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwt2NAd1ZYY&list=PL4neAtv21WOlqpDzGqbGM_WN2hc5ZaVv7.
