'''What will you do if you get stuck on your project and your mentor isn't around?'''
 +
 +
If I am stuck and my mentor is not around, I will search on the web and stackoverflow for
 +
 +
solution. If that does not work I would ask the question on IRC and Sugar-devel mailing list
 +
 +
to get help from other members of the community who contribute to Music Blocks. Some of
 +
 +
my college seniors also contribute to open-source, I can get help from them as well.
 +
 +
'''How do you propose you will be keeping the community informed of your progress and'''
 +
 +
'''any problems or questions you might have over the course of the project?'''
 +
 +
I will write a blog, where I will post updates of my progress as well as difficulties that I faced
 +
 +
weekly. I will post to Sugar-devel mailing list after completing important milestones and I
 +
 +
will also attend meetings which are held on #sugar-meeting.

'''Link to screenshot of Sugar development environment'''
 +
 +
My project does not require Sugar development environment, but I have set it up in virtual
 +
 +
machine.
 +
 +
'''link to a pull request or merge request you have made'''

'''Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.'''
 +
 +
I was weak in mathematics when I was a kid, although I used to attend all the classes. When
 +
 +
the teacher solved questions on blackboard, I just copy them to my notebook mindlessly.
 +
 +
Once I scored very badly in Mathematics exam. I then talked to the teacher and he asked me
 +
 +
to try solving questions before seeing answer. I followed his advice and started solving
 +
 +
exercise questions and asked for help only after I had tried enough. This helped and I
 +
 +
became good in mathematics. This was a very good learning experience for me.
 +
 +
'''Is there anything else we should have asked you or anything else that we should know'''
 +
 +
'''that might make us like you or your project more?'''
 +
 +
Sugar Labs is doing very good work to provide equal opportunity to students all over the
 +
 +
world to learn, but one thing that I have noticed is that our community need to have better
 +
 +
outreach to prospective contributors, this would make us grow fastly as an organisation.
 +
 +
After summers I would like to work with Sugar Labs team to increase our outreach.
