Hands-on after Python?

This might be a bit premature, but here goes:

I recently finished Python Fundamentals as prescribed by Chapter 1 Fundamentals in Alchemy Codex. This was very hands on with no shortage of ways to expand my knowledge in it.

As I continue working through the training videos, I do not see a lot of hands-on "Assignments" or tasks though there are some great (and a lot of) introductions to various tools and methods (such as Project structure, Black...).

As a hands-on learner (and a new programmer), I need to do something myself in order to remember it. I am concerned that when we finally get to more hands-on projects, I will forget how to use these various tools and methods currently being introduced.

Of course I can always come back and re-watch these if/ when they are needed. Buut I would really love to know if/ when things get hands-on again.

Perhaps I should be trying to imitate what is being presented in the video (even though the instructor is not saying we should); I just don't want to do too much (and possibly overload my machine) either if I should just be having a brief intro to a topic instead of actually doing at at this point in my training.

Has anybody who completed Chapter 1 have a similar experience? Any advice is appreciated :)
