Produce a Podcast Episode, Start to Finish
Intermediate · 4-6 hoursYou're going to record a 15 to 25 minute podcast and put it up on Spotify. Most of the work is cutting: you play back your own recording and delete the ums, the parts where you wander off, and the silences, until nothing is left that a stranger would skip. That last part is the real skill, and almost nobody does it.

Think Like a Data Analyst: Find a Story in Real Data
Intermediate · 4-6 hoursYou're going to take a real question you care about, find a big table of real numbers that can answer it (anyone can download these, free), and write down what you found (then put it where anyone can read it) with charts to back it up. The skill is the honest call: deciding what the numbers actually show versus what you were hoping to find, and not saying more than they prove. That's the real job. You'll have found something true in the numbers and made the case for it.

Report and Publish a Story Like a Journalist
Intermediate · 4-6 hoursYou're going to pick a topic you care about, work out what YOU think is true about it, dig up the proof, and publish a 1,500 word story that argues it. The skill is making a case you can defend, which means deleting anything you cannot back up. Anyone can repeat what's already out there. Having a point of your own, and proving it, is the job.
