Temperature Converter (Python) – Learn how to quickly build graphical interfaces surrounding a functional Fahrenheit to Celsius temperature converter. 

Binary/Decimal/Hex Converter (JavaScript) – Build a functional web-based app that converts numbers between binary, decimal, and hexadecimal formats and learn debugging fundamentals in the process. 

Alarm Clock (JavaScript) – Create a functional alarm clock using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. This project covers a broad application of the programming languages used and covers numerous associated programming skills. 

Dice Roll Simulator (Python) – Build on the comparative simplicity of the Python-based Coin Flip Simulator project from Programming Project Pack #1 to build nested loops and more advanced logic. 

Dice Roll Simulator (JavaScript) - This alternate approach to the dice roll simulator uses HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to explore advanced logic using those languages. 

Countdown Timer (JavaScript) – Build a dynamic and interactive countdown timer using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. This project introduces you to working with dates, time calculations, and user interaction along with an opportunity to put some other concepts you have learned to use customizing your final product and making it your own. 

Guess The Letter/Hangman Game (Python GUI) – Build a fun and functional Guess The Letter game and learn more about graphical application interfaces and APIs using Python along the way. 

Guess The Letter/Hangman Game (JavaScript) – In this project you will create the classic game as a web app. Our game allows setting various setup options, retrieving a random word from a web API, and guessing letters/words.
