Physics Challenge
Make a graphical program with some scales and some blocks.
When the user adds the blocks to the scales they will rotate to the heavier side.
Assume the blocks have the same density so their mass is proportional to their area so you can have different sized or shaped blocks.
If you fancy a harder challenge, then make a see-saw where the weights can be added at different distances from the central pivot.
Game Challenge
Write a copy of the classic Binatone football game (my favorite), or one of the others.
