'''If your project is successfully completed, what will its impact be on the Sugar Labs community? Give 3 answers, each 1-3 paragraphs in length. The first one should be yours. The other two should be answers from members of the Sugar Labs community, at least one of whom should be a Sugar Labs GSoC mentor. Provide email contact information for non-GSoC mentors.'''
'''My thoughts:''' Once these three activities would be completely ported and deployed on the respective domains, kids and people without XO laptops will also be able to get to enjoy the taste of learning from these Sugar activities. These JS will help kids improve their logical thinking and analytical skills. Main focus while developing these project is to provide their accessibility to a wide range of Sugar consumers, since learning and education should not be restricted to only those with XO laptops.

'''Walter Bender(Mentor):'''
'''Alan Jhonn Aguiar Schwyn:''' More childrens could use the activities since JS activities runs on more platforms than Pure-Sugar activities. The idea behind JS activities is port more devices.
'''What will you do if you get stuck on your project and your mentor isn't around?'''
'''What will you do if you get stuck on your project and your mentor isn't around?'''
If my mentor is not around, there would be other open source developers on IRC whom I can reach out for help. I also have a lot of seniors in my college who are into wide range open source developments and they are very helpful. So there are a lot of ways I can tackle a problem I'm stuck on when my mentor isn't available. Well thoughout my previous development experience 'StackOverflow' has been a lot useful, so I can also look up for the solution there. In worst case, I will try to look up for the solution on the internet as I usually do and tackle the problem myself.
'''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 am planning on maintaining a wiki page every weekend regarding the project. As far daily progress is concerned, I will pass on the project links to my mentor on IRC whenever I'll find him active to get a quick review. I'll also create a thread on Mailing list to post regular updates regarding the project developments.
'''Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.'''
'''Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.'''
Childhood is considered to be the most effective learning stage. Be it a kid or a teenager, they tend to absorb all the kind of knowledge and learning imparted to them. So what I think is that this is the best time when we can mould children's creativity and mental ability the best, which SugarLabs is currently doing and it is commendable as well!
When I was child, most of my learning was because the games(chinese checkers, scribble, puzzles, etc) I used to play my at my school(mostly logical). I was pretty good at geometry, my teacher being impressed with skills used to ask me to help her teach my friends how to draw different geometrical figues using basic tools like-compass, protractor, divider and set-squares. I made me feel really nice being good at something and then using my skills to teach my colleagues to teach them the same. I owe my logical thinking to the logic based games I used to play when I was a kid.
