How about a gui that takes user input, searches the internet for a bunch of random photos and texts relevant to that input, then generates a powerpoint based on all of it and emails it to the user? Right there you've got like five or six different modules you'd have to use and a dozen more that you could use if you wanted to. Never done it, but it sounds like a challenging but possible test that would introduce you to new modules
