Some commands are very similar between scratch and python. Here are some mappings
| Scratch | Python |
| say | |
| change x by 1 | x = x + 1 |
| if <condition> | if <condition>: |
| forever | while True: |
| ask "" and wait | answer = raw_input("") |

Write a program to print out some simple information about yourself. It doesn't need to ask for any input, just print things
Write a program that asks the user for an amount, calculates what 15% of that is, and prints it out.
Write a program that asks the user to enter the width and height of a wall. It should calculate the area of the wall and print out the value.
Ask the user to enter a verb, a noun, and an adjective and then print out a sentence using those words as fill in the blank values to a preprogrammed sentence.
The Body Mass Index (BMI) value is a simple way of evaluating a person's height to weight ratio. Implement a BMI calculator, asking the user for their weight in pounds and their height in inches. The formula is:
BMI = (weightInPounds * 703) / (heightInInches * heightInInches)
Write a program that converts between a decimal value of feet into feet and inches. For example, 5.5 feet should be converted to 5 feet, 6 inches. Write another program that converts feet and inches to a decimal value for feet.
