+# Flutter Learning Challenge Set: Beginner to Senior
+
+## Beginner Challenge: Task List App
+
+Create a simple task list app that allows users to add, view, and delete tasks.
+
+### Requirements:
+1. Use a `StatefulWidget` for the main screen.
+2. Implement a list to store tasks (use the `List` collection).
+3. Create a text input field for adding new tasks.
+4. Display tasks in a `ListView`.
+5. Add a delete functionality for each task.
+6. Use basic state management within the `StatefulWidget`.
+
+### Concepts covered:
+- Basic Flutter widgets
+- StatefulWidget lifecycle
+- Dart collections (List)
+- Simple state management
+
+## Junior Challenge: Weather Forecast App
+
+Extend the task list app into a weather forecast app that fetches data from an API and uses more advanced Flutter concepts.
+
+### Requirements:
+1. Create a weather forecast screen that displays current weather and a 5-day forecast.
+2. Implement navigation to switch between the task list and weather forecast screens.
+3. Use `http` package to fetch weather data from a free API (e.g., OpenWeatherMap).
+4. Implement error handling for API calls.
+5. Use `Provider` for state management.
+6. Create custom widgets for weather information display.
+7. Add animations for loading states and transitions.
+
+### Concepts covered:
+- Flutter navigation
+- Asynchronous programming (Futures)
+- Error handling
+- HTTP requests
+- Provider for state management
+- Custom widgets
+- Basic animations
+
+## Senior Challenge: Smart Home Control App
+
+Develop a comprehensive smart home control app that incorporates advanced Flutter concepts and integrates features from the previous challenges.
+
+### Requirements:
+1. Create a dashboard that displays:
+   - Task list widget (from beginner challenge)
+   - Weather widget (from junior challenge)
+   - Smart device control widgets (new feature)
+2. Implement user authentication (you can mock this locally).
+3. Use Firebase (or a mock service) for backend data storage and real-time updates.
+4. Implement advanced navigation using Navigator 2.0.
+5. Create custom animations for device control interactions.
+6. Use `BLoC` pattern for state management.
+7. Implement unit and widget tests for critical components.
+8. Add theme switching capability (light/dark mode).
+9. Optimize the app for different screen sizes (responsive design).
+10. Implement local notifications for task reminders and device alerts.
+
+### Concepts covered:
+- Advanced state management (BLoC)
+- Navigator 2.0
+- Firebase integration (or mocking advanced backend services)
+- Custom animations
+- Unit and widget testing
+- Theme management
+- Responsive design
+- Local notifications
+
+## Building on Previous Challenges:
+- The task list from the beginner challenge becomes a widget in the senior challenge's dashboard.
+- The weather forecast from the junior challenge is also integrated into the senior challenge's dashboard.
+- The navigation and state management evolve from basic concepts in the beginner challenge to more advanced implementations in the senior challenge.
