Hey everyone! I'm a recent high school graduate and I'm gearing up to start my Computer Science degree in college. To get ahead of my peers, I'm looking for some cool and unique Python projects that fit an intermediate skill level. Most projects I've seen so far are either too simple or way too complex for me to tackle. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated!

When deciding what to build, think about what excites you. It could be something hobby-related or a tool to simplify your life. Here are some ideas: a game like a Pokémon simulator, a physics engine, or even your own CLI application. Let your creativity flow!
If you're looking to challenge yourself programming-wise, how about making a compiler or exploring Rust? Those can be really rewarding projects!
Don't stress yourself too much! Just focus on projects that genuinely interest you. Seriously, your first year isn’t meant to be overwhelming. Enjoy your summer and trust me, not everyone will be coding wizards right away!
Thanks for this! I’ll take your advice and relax a bit.
Consider building a website using Django. You can utilize the Django REST framework to create an API and containerize it with Docker. It's great practice!
How about developing a Streaming Subscription Optimizer? You could create a tool that organizes your shows from different streaming services, predicting when to subscribe or unsubscribe to save money while watching everything. Sounds like a fun project!
That’s such a unique idea! I love it, thanks!
I appreciate the suggestions! I’ll definitely consider them.
