Python Studio projects to make.
Python Studio is for learners who have started Python and want to make things: draw spirals and rosettes with the turtle, write secret codes, referee a game, build a deck of cards and make a ball bounce. Each project has one clear goal and instant checking.

What you will do
1. Turtle art
Your first drawing: a square
Use a for loop to draw a square with sides of 100.
Start →2Any shape with one number
Draw a regular polygon using the variable sides: the turtle should turn 360 / sides degrees each time. Try changing sides to see other shapes.
Start →3A colour spiral
Draw a spiral of 72 lines that cycles through the six colours in the list: use pencolor, forward(i * 3) and left(59).
Start →4A rosette of circles
Draw 12 circles of radius 60, turning left 30 degrees after each, and change the pen colour to a different colour for each pair.
Start →2. Calculators and secret codes
Project: the snack bill
Print three lines: Subtotal: 270, Tax: 13.5, Total: 283.5, worked out from the three prices.
Start →6Project: a secret code
Encode the message with the shift: letters move forward, spaces stay as they are. hello world with a shift of 3 should print khoor zruog.
Start →7Project: break the code
Write decode(text, shift) that undoes a shift code, and use it to read wkh txlfn eurzq ira (shift 3).
Start →3. Chance and cards
Project: rock, paper, scissors referee
Write winner(a, b) that returns "tie", "first" or "second" for two moves. The program already prints winner("rock", "paper").
Start →9Project: dice detective
Write best_hand(dice) for five dice that returns one of: five of a kind, four of a kind, full house, three of a kind, two pairs, pair, nothing.
Start →10Project: build a deck of cards
Build the deck as a list of strings like "A of spades", then print the number of cards, the first card, the last card and how many hearts there are.
Start →4. Functions studio
A drawing function
Write draw_polygon(sides, size), then call it three times to draw a triangle, a square and a hexagon.
Start →12Functions that return answers
Write average(numbers) and grade(score) (A for 80 or more, B for 60 or more, otherwise C), and print the grade for the marks list.
Start →13Project: a smiley factory
Write draw_smiley(x, y) that draws a gold face, two black eyes and a smile at that position, and call it three times at x = -120, 0 and 120.
Start →5. Motion and bouncing
Project: the bouncing ball
Move the ball 20 steps. If x goes above 100, set x to 200 - x and reverse the speed; if x goes below 0, set x to -x and reverse the speed. Count the bounces. Print the final x, then the number of bounces.
Start →15Project: a ball's path
Place a dot at (x, 150 - x * x / 150) for x from -150 to 150 in steps of 10, cycling through at least 3 colours.
Start →16Project: free fall
Drop from a height of 80 metres. Print the height after each whole second while it is above ground, like After 0 s: 80 m, then Landed after 4 s.
Start →6. Scores and smart guessing
Project: the scoreboard
Print the ranking, highest score first, one line each like 1. Ravi 57.
Start →18Capstone: the smart guessing bot
Write guesses_needed(secret): start with low = 1 and high = 100, always guess the middle (low + high) // 2, count the guesses and return the count when the guess is right. Then print guesses_needed(73).

Learn HTML
HTML is the language that builds every web page. Type a little code, watch the page appear next to it, and get a tick when you have it right.
8 lessons · Beginner · ages 9+ →Learn CSS
CSS makes a web page look good. The page is already written; you write the style rules and watch it change as you type.
8 lessons · Beginner · ages 10+ →Learn JavaScript
JavaScript makes pages do things. Write a few lines, press Run, and see what your program prints. The lessons start from nothing.
8 lessons · Beginner · ages 11+ →Learn Python
Python is one of the friendliest languages to start with. Each lesson explains one idea in a minute, then gives you one small task: write the code, press Run, and get a tick when it is right.
24 lessons · Beginner · ages 9+ →Coding Grandmaster
Premium · free for nowCoding Grandmaster is for learners who know Python basics and want to understand how the clever parts work. Instead of importing libraries, you build them: a sieve, a sorting counter, Bayes' rule, a regression line, a nearest-neighbour classifier and a small neural network, one short project at a time.
46 lessons · Advanced · ages 13+ →Web Developer Path
A complete start to web development. Each lesson explains one idea, shows a colourful example you can run, and gives you code to type and practise, with a live preview and instant checking as you go.

Python Studio: questions
What will I learn in Python Studio?
You will build 18 creative Python projects: turtle drawings, text codes, card and dice logic, functions that draw and return values, bouncing and falling simulations, and a smart guessing bot. Each of the 18 lessons has one small task and automatic checking.
How long does it take?
About 270 minutes in total, 18 short lessons of around 15 minutes each. Go at your own pace.
Do I need to know anything first?
No. It starts from your first line of code, and the early lessons only need typing and counting.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. Finish all the lessons and you can download a free certificate of completion with your name. It is a record of what you did, not an accredited qualification.
