− | I was not aware of a thing like open source before I stepped into my college. But then I heard a lot about this stuff from seminars and my other seniors. Then I started participating in coding events and my first open source event was AI Challenge organized during our technical fest. I did write a simulator code for the event.

− | I am trying to integrate speech in the core sugar. Means I am trying to provide speech synthesis as a basic functionality in sugar. According to me and a survey [EXPLAIN], language learning can be a great experience if done with speech. The literacy rate can be increased by 6-10% if speech is also included with text because this is the ability of our brain to easily remember sounds rather than text. So I am making this activity for children learning language of age group 5-15 or even older people.
