Turtle Mess

The Turtle Mess project is my favorite project. It doesn’t require and advanced or intermediate skills, but it always ends up looking cool in the end.

Dependencies​

Students need to have these skills before starting on this project:

End result​

Once a student completes this project, the end result will look something like this:

import turtle

while True:
    turtle.forward(100)
    turtle.left(11)
    turtle.forward(150)
    turtle.left(270)

Potential variations​

You should have students visit this page so that they can discover new things that can be done with the turtle module. Have students try to figure out that page on their own but help them when they inevitably get stuck.
