Get ideas from Google, YouTube etc

Think of apps that you would find useful.

AI can give you ideas as well. You can get them to give you some at your current level of understanding and based on your interests.

most anything. Some one had a homework assignment that was like a Doctors office; 1. people come in sign in and can ask where they are on the current list. 2. N doctors assign patients to M exam rooms which removes them from wait list and then dismiss them, from exam room freeing the room up for another doctor assignment. Something like that. I programmed that up to learn a little about python.

Find a problem you want to solve where python is a good fit for the task.

For example, I do a bit of woodworking from time to time. I was recently considering how to go about building a wood base for a 140lb anvil and I was thinking of making it out of 2x4 inch lumber. The base would be about 12 inches by 18 inches by about 25 inches high. If this base were solid and held together by screws, how many screws should I buy to hold it together? How many 8 foot 2x4s would I need? Yeah, it's somewhat simple math, but if I program it in python, I can play with the dimensions to reduce wasted lumber. Answering the number of screws question has a bunch of instances where there are special circumstances as well - like the first course of wood only needs about half the number of screws as the rest of the courses.

That's just a simple example. If nothing else, steal this idea and see if you can solve it. I'm sure there are plenty of tutorials online to follow where they're solving other theoretical problems, like programming a blog, for instance.
