Can someone please explain to me the grammar in the sentence このデータをうまく活用して、何かできないかな。


> このデータをうまく活用して、何かできないかな。

This sentence is from Wanikani, and it's translated as "I don’t know if I can
put this data to good use." I understand the first part of the sentence, but I
don't know why 何かできないかな is translated, or has the meaning of "I don't know."
Is it a set phrase?




かな is added to add some kind of uncertainty to the sentence, to show that you
are unsure. It is often a way of asking someone else for confirmation.

To make a more literal translation I would thus say:

> I wonder if something can't be done, to put this data to good use
