I love it. The best way to learn is by doing, and the suggested project idea is simple enough as a starting point, and complex enough to require deep thinking and exploration in various aspects to figure out a good solution. Many of the recommendations in other comments could tie into architecting such a study project too: data structures, algorithms, communication among distributed processes..
