School is the primary place where you will get many things to learn, but if you are curious about other ways to get much information fun, problem-solving with coding  

is the best answer. You can combine your school knowledge, such as math, science, design or art, language, and many aspects of coding. Programming is one of the best ways to repair short-term memory, build concentration, and maintain mood because we solve problems like puzzles and help to improve academic performance at school.  

What is coding? 

If this is your first time learning about coding, you’re in luck because this article will teach you about it as well as a coding project that you can try out. Coding is one of the programme languages that you put or add some code to make a game, application, website, etc. If you want to learn to code, you can use many platforms online, such as Scratch, Thunkable, Tinkercad, Edublocks, Pyhton on Replit, etc. So, what is the project that you can make with coding? The answer is, a lot!

So, these are the eight best coding projects that you can do in high school: 

1. Make an Obby Game on Scratch 

Do you know Roblox? So, on Roblox, you can play many games and find a new friend if you are lucky. One of the famous games on Roblox, like Obby, you can make this one on Scratch. You can create your own sprite and make sure you complete all the stages with a lot of obstacles. If you want to make one Obby on Scratch, you can play and remix this one project.

2. Create your own translator on Thunkable 

Thunkable is one platform where you can create your own application, and you can upload your application to the mobile play store, where everyone can download and use your application. Cool, right? There are many applications you can make on Thunkable. This is one of the sample projects that you can build on Thunkable.

3. Build temperature sensor on Tinkercad Circuit 

Tinkercad is one platform where you can design your 3D objects and make a circuit for learning about electricity. You can try to make a circuit design with the Arduino simulator and use a temperature on Tinkercad circuit, so we can say that this platform is the easiest way to learn electronics using an interactive circuit editor, connecting to many components such as a breadboard, battery, and power supply. You could try making one temperature sensor like this temperature-sensors (which was remixed by TheElectronicGuy).

4. Learn the basic concept of Edublocks 

On Edublocks, we can learn the Python syntax, but the version of Python 3 is dragged and dropped. This platform will make you understand the script code of Python 3, but you will still use block code and see directly the script code after you make one project on Edublocks. You can try to make a log-in application on Edublocks. You will see this block: 

Then, for the script code, you can change it to be code, and you will directly see the  script code at the same time, like this: 

But if you want to learn block and script code together, you can change the code to  be split, and you will see something like this:

You can try to follow this project (https://project.edublocks.org/xYdf)

5.  Make your own Website with HTML/CSS on Replit 

A website is developed by web development, and you can try to make your own on  Replit using HTML/CSS. HTML (the Hypertext Markup Language) and CSS   (Cascading Style Sheets) are two of the programmers’ tools for creating Web pages. HTML will provide the structure of the page and CSS will display a variety of devices (visual and aural). You can visit this link and learn about HTML and CSS (https://www.w3.org/standards/webdesign/htmlcss). 

6. Create a simple calculator on Replit using Python 

Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built-in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for rapid application development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together. Python’s simple, easy-to-learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of programme maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages programme modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are available in source or binary form without charge for all major platforms and can be freely distributed (the definition from https://www.python.org/doc/essays/blurb/). For While studying basic projects in Python, you can try to make a simple calculator like this one (https://replit.com/@Selly-Mitra/Simple-Calculator#main.py). Enrolling with a computer programmer for kids can help guide them through such projects and provide additional learning resources.

Conclusion

Coding projects are a great way of challenging your coding skills. Not only does it help you to increase your skills, but it also helps you to figure out where you are standing. The above-mentioned are some fun high school coding projects that can be very beneficial for students.
