Senior Project

Okay, so I'm starting my high school senior project some time within the next few weeks.
Last semester I had to write a six page paper on a topic of my choosing. I chose to write about operating systems (Windows, Mac, Linux. . .) and now I have to come up with some kind of tangible project that is related to operating systems.
So far, I thought about maybe learning Python. I've already learned a little bit, and I thought maybe I could learn the rest and possibly exhibit skill in Python as my senior project.
Do you think this is a good idea? Can you think of any other possible projects I could do that relates to operating systems?

I had a few friends that created video games as their products for their senior projects. Honestly, while it probably depends on the school to an extent, I don't think the product has to be completely related to your thesis/paper. I argued that the big bang theory was the best cosmological model to explain the universe in its current state, and built a telescope as my product. I ended up with a 94 as my final grade.

Basically, I think you'll be fine if you program something with Python and exhibit that as your product. Maybe check with your English teacher (or whoever is "running" it) first.

What is a senior project? This concept is foreign to me. My high school does not have senior projects, and I'm not sure my old high school had them either.

It's usually just a project you have to do to graduate. It varies depending on the state. I have to work on mine for 50 hours, write a paper on it, and present it sometime within the next 2 years.

Not sure how old you are, but I assume it's for high school... because it seems like nothing for a BS degree from a college

Anyway, what are the instructions you have from your teacher? Learning Python doesn't seem like it'd make a good project. I don't know how to incorporate that into anything that's great

Talk to Mario98. He was learning Python and might be able to help you out with any coding

Yes considering he said high school with the first sentence.

Your project could have to do with demonstrating the performance and abilities of different OS's.

Ha oh yeah. I was in my junior year thinking about what to do for my senior project, but I got unexpectedly got transferred to a school across town that was basically too lazy of a system to have any project :P

I wish you luck on your project though
