I did Advent of Code in Ada last year. I got distracted by other projects and didn't finish it, but found it to be a very good way to learn with focused problems. My solutions are up on GitHub if you're curious, but knowing what I know now, they're far from optimal and some parts are definitely in need of refactoring.
