I have seen a couple simple python builds recently that automate posts to Instagram or monitor prices on Amazon’s scraping the page with beautiful soup. I think something concrete like that those could be good or at least starting points to emulate.

I have been invited by a local college to give a short workshop on programming to incoming freshmen. The idea is to expose them to programming so that they would consider taking classes on the topic or majoring in it. They have offered me the computer lab and we've decided to keep it to 3 hours (some of which can be for a career discussion). I am looking for inspiration and materials to use in developing the workshop. I would love to get your suggestions. There will be ~25-30 students and I will have helpers. Considering the audience, time and space, I'd like to do something in the browser (Google Collab, Cloud 9 or Repl.it), keep it to Python (which I know) and try to make it fun/creative (games/art/music), but anything relevant helps!
