As a teacher for more than forty years I'd suggest you daughter can tackle anything.

Older folks get bogged down with "can't dos".

Yep, kids today are much more competent (especially with hand craftsmanship) than back in the 50s and 60s.
Just look at all those projects they complete completely on their own!
Welcome to Lake Wobegone....where all kids are above average!
:-)

BTW, a well-designed school project assignment without a deadline is unusual, to say the least, IME.

If this is a true student project ('Genius' or not), why isn't the student here asking for advice?
