For my project, I chose to learn Python, and create something from what I learned. I currently have around 10 hours spent learning Python, and predict to have at least 20 by the time I start my project. According to my level of experience, what would be an interesting project that would exihbit all that I've learned.

Start by thinking about problems you would like to solve.  Is there something that you wish you could do easier?

Are you in 6th grade, or 8th?  What other kinds of classes are you in where python might help?  For example, have you done any graphing in a Math class?  making a graph of a function using text is a pretty complete exercise that might help you visualize problems (and help with you other classes, too).

Are you interested in making things move or turning stuff on/off?  Using python on a Raspberry Pi is a great way to start with using a computer to control the “real world.”
