Sentence 1. There's a glaring agreement error in Sentence 2. ("What are some Android project...that is also...")

I agree that #1 is better, both grammatically and stylistically. Also, in #2 "beginner" should be plural.

In addition to having multiple problems with singular vs. plural, the second sentence is too wordy.

Definitely the first sentence. The other is not smooth and looks faulty.

I have to agree with the previous posters. The second sentence did not flow at all and it contained many grammatical errors.
