* We want to make sure that you can set up a [[DevelopmentTeam#Development_systems|development environment]] before the summer starts. Please send us a link to a screenshot of your Sugar development environment with the following modification: when you hover over the XO-person icon in the middle of Home view, the drop-down text should have your email in place of "Restart." See the image on the right for an example. It's normal to need assistance with this, so please visit our IRC channel, #sugar on irc.freenode.net, and ask for help.

* Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.

I have always enjoyed hand-ons learning. One experience that I enjoy was making ice cream in school. The process was very simple: take the ingredients (milk, sugar, flavoring, salt) and put it all in a plastic bag. Next place the bag in a coffee can filled with ice. Now roll the can on the table (or wherever) for a while, maybe it was half an hour to an hour. Eventually, the ingredients in the bag will solidify and you will have ice cream. I think this was the first time that was able to see and participate in the process of making something I loved.

* 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?

I think the project sells itself. But as for me, I have been known to work on the computer for up to ten hours straight without fatigue. That's not to say that I don't get frustrated when my programs don't work as expected, but I get in the zone and I really enjoy it. My programming projects (C, Matlab, etc.) have always been my favorite assignments and always keep me distracted from my other work. But then again, that's why I'm changing majors. ;)
