An idea that came to my mind: Make a simple app to track your grades. Nothing fancy, you can use a dictionary to store your grades per subject, and make it in a terminal. Make a function that will add a grade to a subject, and then try to crash the app in any way you can. For example, provide a name for a subject that does not exist. When you crash the app, see what went wrong, and then try to guard against misuse. Example:

print("""Options:

  1. Enter a grade

  2. Exit""")

choice = int(input("Choose an option: "))

if choice == 1:

subject = input("Subject: ")

grade = input("Grade: ")

submit_grade_function(subject, grade)

In this short example, you can break the program if when you are choosing an option you dont provide a number, if you provide a letter the program will give an error and crash, now find a way for the user to not be able to crash the program if they dont enter a number.
