Welcome to the forum, it's a diverse group here with lots of interesting projects.
Anything seems possible when you don't know what you're talking about.

Welcome, what are your areas of interest?
Whatever they are you will find members with similar interests.

@will Thank You. I am a beginner so at this point my interest is in Raspberry Pi and Arduino.

Then I'd suggest that you stick with the Arduino for a while. Using a Raspberry Pi will require you to become familiar with the Linux operating system as well as either (or both) C(/C++) and Python.
Using Arduinos, you'll only need to learn C and a bit of C++, so it's a shallower learning curve 🙂

- My first Raspberry Pi project.
- Python script blinking lights.

It looks like you are well on your way. Learning means understanding so I assume you understand the Python script and can modify or write your own code to do different things with the LEDs?

@robotbuilder Yes indeed. In this case I added more lights to a script that someone had written. Then I put it into a FOR loop and added an input requesting the number of iterations. And if you can control lights then you can control relays...

Good job, I am a bit envious that you have an impressive looking oscilloscope.
Why not see if you can extend this sketch by blinking each LED independently and each at a different frequency? You will learn a good deal from the exercise.
Keep going.

@will, @ronbentley1, @robotbuilder, et al
Thank You, gentlemen for your kind advice. @will : Yes I think I'll start with Arduino for the time being. That seems to be the fastest way to learn. @robotbuilder : I took some classes in Pascal and Fortran years ago so I get the general idea when I look at the scripts. I'm looking forward to learning C. @ronbentley1 : That was a good suggestion to extend the project. Yes, I had to learn a thing or two along the way. In this case it was how to use 74HC595's and PWM. I did not write this code but it was a great learning experience just putting it together. Have a look :
