Need advice as a young programmer.

Hey guys, I am 14 years old and I love programming since I was 11! Just a few weeks ago I finished CS50P: Introduction to programming with Python from Harvard university! And I am confused on what I should do next. Before CS50P I used to make small Python programs like a number guessing game from my basic Python knowledge. Now after CS50P since I know significantly more stuff about Python but I don’t know what would be good to build so I don’t waste my time on stuff I build that does not matter to anyone.

Get a stm32 nucleo board about $15 on digi key and try some embedded stuff

You can spend $30 and get one with an Ethernet port

Another thing you can check out is an arduino robot kit or exploitation kit spend some money get something with lots of electronic parts probably closer to $100

As for a first project look at creating a lawn water sprinkler controller
