About this project

What you'll build: Create a simple script that scans a folder, sorts files into subfolders based on their type (like pictures, documents, or music), and optionally renames them with clear, organized names. Run it any time you want to clean up your downloads or desktop!

Why it's a good starter: This project is small and practical, with easy-to-understand steps. You'll practice real automation and see instant results on your own files, using tools and skills that are in high demand for IT and engineering roles.

What you'll learn: You'll get hands-on with file handling in code, basic logic for sorting and renaming, and how to make your script flexible. By the end, you'll have a useful tool and a solid foundation for bigger automation projects.

Milestones

1. Setup & Plan

10 marks 5d

Submit a short plan outlining what file types you'll handle (e.g. .jpg, .docx, .mp3), where your script will run, and how you'll test it. Show that you have set up your tools and can run a simple script.

2. Core Build: Sorting by Type

30 marks 10d

Submit your script that scans a folder and moves files into subfolders by type (e.g. all .jpg files into 'Images'). Show before/after screenshots and explain your code briefly.

3. Core Build: Renaming & Options

30 marks 10d

Add a feature to rename files for clarity (e.g. add a date or index number). Optionally, make the script handle more file types or add comments to explain your code. Submit the updated script and a short description of improvements.

4. Testing & Polish

15 marks 7d

Test your script on sample folders, fix any bugs, and add simple instructions for use. Submit your final script, test results (screenshots or log), and usage instructions.

5. Demo & Short Report

15 marks 7d

Record a 2-minute demo (screen recording or screenshots with narration) showing your script in action, and write a one-page summary: what you built, what you learned, and ideas for future improvements.
