+
+# Create New Programming Assignment
+
+Your goal is to generate a new homework assignment for the Mergington High School students.
+
+## Step 1: Gather Assignment Information
+
+If not already provided by the user, ask what the assignment will be about.
+
+## Step 2: Create Assignment Structure
+
+1. Create a new directory in the `assignments` folder with a unique name based on the assignment topic
+1. Create a new file in the directory named `README.md` with the structure from the [assignment-template.md](../../templates/assignment-template.md) file
+1. Fill out the assignment details in the README file
+1. (Optional) Add starter code or attachments if the assignment needs them - add these files to the same assignment folder
+
+## Step 3: Update Website Configuration
+
+Update the assignments list in [config.json](../../config.json) website configuration file to include the new assignment. For the dueDate field, use the current date plus 7 days unless specified otherwise.

+# 📘 Assignment: Building REST APIs with FastAPI
+
+## 🎯 Objective
+
+Learn to build a RESTful API using the FastAPI framework, including creating endpoints, handling HTTP methods, and working with request/response models.
+
+## 📝 Tasks
+
+### 🛠️ Create a Todo List API
+
+#### Description
+Build a REST API for managing a todo list with endpoints to create, read, update, and delete todo items.
+
+#### Requirements
+Completed program should:
+
+- Define a Todo model with fields: id, title, description, and completed status
+- Create a GET endpoint to retrieve all todos
+- Create a GET endpoint to retrieve a single todo by ID
+- Create a POST endpoint to add a new todo
+- Create a PUT endpoint to update an existing todo
+- Create a DELETE endpoint to remove a todo
+- Return appropriate HTTP status codes (200, 201, 404, etc.)
+- Use FastAPI's automatic API documentation at /docs
+
+
+### 🛠️ Add Data Validation
+
+#### Description
+Implement request validation using Pydantic models to ensure data integrity.
+
+#### Requirements
+Completed program should:
+
+- Use Pydantic models for request and response validation
+- Validate that title is required and not empty
+- Validate that completed is a boolean value
+- Return clear error messages for invalid input (422 status)
+- Include example values in the API documentation

+REST API with FastAPI - Starter Code
+
+This starter code provides a basic FastAPI application structure.
+Your task is to implement the todo list API endpoints.
+
+To run this application:
+1. Install FastAPI and uvicorn: pip install fastapi uvicorn
+2. Run the server: uvicorn starter-code:app --reload
+3. Visit http://localhost:8000/docs to see the API documentation
