I think making your own library is ambitious; personally, I’d add to three.js itself. Even if you can’t come up with a cool demo idea or new feature, the documentation in some areas is non-existent. I’ve been patching up the parts where I know students will be looking (e.g. the materials), but there’s tons more to do. Learn an area by digging into the code, then write down what you’ve found as documentation. If I was a professor I’d probably give this as an extra-credit assignment: the more you document three.js (correctly!), the more points you get, and frankly the more you know about some area of graphics, which is the main point of doing this. The student learns and the world gains.

As a student I find your words very encouraging, I’m currently in search for a topic to use in my “final career project” and I think I’m going to choose computer graphics. Since I took the MOOC on Udacity my interest in the field has really grown!. Would you suggest some ideas on how can I apply computer graphics?, I mean by doing a graphics library like THREE or anything like that.

[...] easy for anyone to link to any of the lessons (well, except where YouTube is blocked; Udacity has alternate delivery methods). I hope that these videos and demos will be handy for other people explaining 3D [...]
