About this project

What you'll build: You'll create a simple script that collects your personal notes or a summary of your chosen data (like tasks from a file or online source) and emails it to you every day automatically. No manual sending needed!

Why it's a good starter: This project is small and practical, focusing on automation basics with instantly useful results. You'll get hands-on with real scripting, scheduling, and email tools without feeling overwhelmed.

What you'll learn: You'll practice writing simple scripts, working with files, sending emails through code, and scheduling tasks to run on their own. By the end, you'll have a reusable automation skill and a confidence boost for future projects.

Milestones

1. Setup & Plan

10 marks 5d

Submit a one-page plan outlining your script's purpose, the data source (e.g., notes file or online info), and how you'll send the email. Show your development environment set up with Python installed.

2. Core Build (Part 1): Data Collection

30 marks 10d

Submit your script that reads and summarizes the chosen data (e.g., collects text from a file or web page). Show sample output in the console-no email sending yet.

Submit a 2-minute video demo or slides of your script running and a short (1-2 page) reflection on what you learned, challenges faced, and how you might extend it.
