I have been a part of sugar since January this year. This is my first time contributing to an open source organization, but so far I am really enjoying the experience. Ever since I started exploring the world of open source, I have been mesmerised by the simplicity and the noble intentions behind the work that is being done. Sugar labs in particular has grabbed my attention so far because of OLPC program. It is a great initiative, and I want to contribute in whatever way I can to it.

== '''About my project''' ==

'''What is the name of your project?
 +
'''
 +
 +
Nutritional Microworld.
 +
 +
 +
'''Describe your project in 10-20 sentences. What are you making? Who are you making it for, and why do they need it? What technologies (programming languages, etc.) will you be using?

The project Nutritional Microworld is for children to learn the fundamental concepts of nutrition. Children life nowadays is quite different that they tend to have an unhealthy lifestyle . By playing with nutrition microworld, children will be able to learn the concepts of nutrition in a fun and interactive manner.
 +
 +
This project is analogous to turtle-blocks. By utilising block programming children will be able to do a lot of new things.
 +
 +
I have made a basic UX design for each type of activity.
 +
 +
Nutrition Microworld can be a bit overwhelming for the beginners. So Nutrition microworld can be used in two different modes.
 +
 +
i) In Beginner mode user will have access to a limited set of functionality.
 +
 +
ii) In advanced mode extra functionality will be added to the beginner mode.
 +
 +
'''Beginner Mode -'''
 +
 +
On the basis of functionality we have three different types of activities :
 +
 +
'''i) Food related activity :'''
 +
 +
In this activity section user can select food items. The food items will contain images as well as nutrient information along with them. In this module, activities related to food items are present. For instance in the example below “Get calorie” method would take two arguments ice-cream and amount of it. Thereby returning the calories gained from it.
