At Udacity, we love learning by doing, and that means…projects! Practice your new skills with projects, and you’ll stay engaged, reinforce concepts, and build an awesome portfolio to showcase your work.

In our new foundational programming course, Intro to Object Oriented Programming, you’ll complete six mini projects as you gain new skills. In the Secret Message mini project, you’ll write a secret message for a friend, and then write a program to decode the message! Check out the story:

In this project, you will:

  • Learn how functions from the OS module in Python (otherwise known as operating system) can help automate tasks on your computer
  • Practice reading documentation
  • Practice debugging programs

Ready to get started? Check out some of the awesome secret messages students have already created and shared, and head to class to create your own.
