Before comleting this challenge you may want to recap on our previous two challenges:
In this challenge we are using iteration to repeat a number of instructions over and over.
Square Based Spiral #1:
Square Based Spiral #2:
Spider Web:
In our previous challenge, we looked at using sequencing to write a program using Python Turtle to complete a drawing.
Remember when using Python Turtle, the most useful instrcutions are as follows:
Iteration Example 1: (Star)
Iteration Example 2: (Flower)
Iteration Example 3: (Using nested loops)
Looking at the following code can you explain the purpose of each Python Turtle instruction:
The canvas we are drawing on (using Python Turtle) is 400 pixels wide by 400 pixels high.
Look at the canvas below to understand how (x,y) coordinates work:
Use all of the instructions mentionned above to complete a drawing of your choice.
This challenge consists of using Python to generate a random weather forecast report.
By investigating this challenge you are going to further improve your skills at:
worldCities = ["London", "Sao Paulo", "New-York", "Beijing", "Paris", "Cairo", "Dehli"]
Based on this what do you think len(worldCities) would return?
What’s about worldCities[0]?
Or worldCities[3] ?

In this challenge we will be looking at two well-known fractals both named after the Polish mathematician Wacław Sierpiński:
The following figures show how the pattern of this fractal:
The following figures show how the pattern of this fractal:
Your challenge consists of recreating this fractal by completing the following code:
A Haiku is a Japanese short poem consisting of three lines traditionally evoking images of the natural world. There are specific rules when writing a Haiku e.g. number of syllables in each line, however, to keep it simple we are not going to worry too much about these rules for now.

In this set of challenges we are going to use CSS to recreate various road signs.
By completing these challenges you will learn more about how CSS can be used to format information on the page.
We will be looking at:
The first challenge consists of recreating this number plate using CSS:
Check the following code to see how the border was created using both the border and the border-radius CSS definitions. You can also investigate how the shadow was created using the box-shadow CSS definition.
See the Pen Post-it notes by 101 Computing (@101Computing) on CodePen.
For this challenge we are using exactly the same CSS definitions. By increasing the border-radius we are creating the round shape.
See the Pen Number Plate by 101 Computing (@101Computing) on CodePen.
Try to recreate these road signs using CSS:
To create the gradient we recommend using an online CSS gradient generator which will create the CSS code for you: e.g. http://www.colorzilla.com/gradient-editor/

For this Python challenge we need to investigate how UK number plates work. Check this page from aa.com to learn more about the current format of number plates in the UK.
By completing this challenge using Python we are going to learn how to use ASCII code when manipulating strings.
You will use the chr() and ord() python instructions to convert characters into ASCII code and vice versa.
For instance:
To complete this challenge you may want to use our ASCII code helpsheet
Your first challenge consists of creating a program that generate a random plate number each time it is run.
The plate number will have to adhere to this format:
2 UPPER CASE LETTERS followed by 2 digits (0 to 9) followed by a space followed by 3 UPPER CASE LETTERS
To help you we have started the code to generate a random uppercase letter. You can now complete this code to generate the full plate number.
Your second challenge consists of writing a program that will ask the user to enter a number plate. The program will then confirm whether the number plate is valid or not.
Remember, a valid number plate has to follow this format:
2 UPPER CASE LETTERS followed by 2 digits (0 to 9) followed by a space followed by 3 UPPER CASE LETTERS
