* ''' What is the timeline for development of your project? The Summer of Code work period is from May 19 - August 22; tell us what you will be working on each week. (As the summer goes on, you and your mentor will adjust your schedule, but it's good to have a plan at the beginning so you have an idea of where you're headed.) Note that you should probably plan to have something "working and 90% done" by the midterm evaluation (27 June); the last steps always take longer than you think, and we will consider cancelling projects which are not mostly working by then.

'''Convince us, in 5-15 sentences, that you will be able to successfully complete your project in the timeline you have described. This is usually where people describe their past experiences, credentials, prior projects, schoolwork, and that sort of thing, but be creative. Link to prior work or other resources as relevant.'''

I have been a part of several academic projects up until now, and I have learnt to assess the complexity of a project fairly well. I have worked as the lead developer on several academic projects as a part from my course work. Apart from that I been Freelancing for a while now, which has helped me build the essential skill of getting things done on time. I have explored the analytics.js, existing nutrition plugin, activity.js, etc. in the Sugar Lab code base and I have developed a fairly good amount of understanding of it. I have also fixed several bugs in turtleblocksjs , musicblocksjs which has given me understanding the underlying details and the ideas used in the code. Also I have technical skills required for this project.
 +
 +
Some of the academic projects which I have been a part of include:
 +
 +
1) [https://github.com/sneh1234/Virtual-carrom Virtual carrom]-> It is two player virtual carrom game written in openGL-2 and c++.
 +
 +
2) [https://github.com/sneh1234/Hospital-Database Hospital database] -> It is a database management system made for hospital for managing patient records, their bill records and medicine records. Developed in php, html, javascript.
 +
 +
3) [https://github.com/sneh1234/Ultimate-Tic-Tac-Toe Ultimate-Tic-Tac-Toe] -> Created a bot for ultimate tic-tac-toe game to compete with other bots in a tournament. Min-Max tree and Alpha-Beta pruning were used here to simulate optimal game-play.
 +
 +
4) [https://github.com/sneh1234/Orchestration-Layer Orchestration-Layer] -> A Virtualization Orchestration Layer made in Python. It works as a fabric that can coordinate the provisioning of compute resources by negotiating with a set of Hypervisors running across physical servers in the datacenter. It works with rest api. It uses hello_flask for frontend. While uses Qemu, KVM, libvirt for backend.
 +
 +
5) [https://github.com/sneh1234/TopShooter TopShooter] -> Built a 3-D top shooter game in openGL-2 and c++.

== '''Me and The Community''' ==
 +
 +
 +
'''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 answer'' ''' :
 +
The project Nutritional Microworld is for children to learn the fundamental concepts of nutrition in fun and interactive way. It will help children to develop good eating habit and encourage them to do exercise. They will also get sense of planning activities, which is essential to achieve success in any field. By nutritional microworld games it will become easy for children to remember fact about nutrition.
 +
 +
''' ''Walter Bender:'' ''' :
 +
The basic idea is to create a “microworld” for nutrition. The project will provide basis functions for exploring nutrition. A set of activities is to be designed that would engage children in some basic concepts. Workshop will be conducted with children and teachers to test the decisions made.
 +
 +
'''What will you do if you get stuck on your project and your mentor isn't around?
 +
'''
 +
 +
In order to get over the obstacles during the duration of the program I would try to resolve it at different levels. I will try to look up online for the possible solutions and see if any of them are able to help me with the issue that I face. Otherwise, I will try to use the mailing list and irc channels to ask other community members for help. I will also try to seek the help of my friends and colleagues when possible.
 +
 +
'''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 be keeping a blog throughout the entire duration of the project. I will update the blog with the status of my weekly progress and a summary of the work done during the week. I will try to use the mailing list and the irc channel to inform the community about the problems or the questions that I might face during the duration of the project.
 +
 +

* ''' We want to make sure that you can set up a development environment before the summer starts. Please do one of the following: 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 "logout".

 +
 +
* ''' Describe a great learning experience you had as a child.'''
 +
 +
When I was in class 8th, I was selected as one of the top 4 finalist in National Cyber Olympiad. Up until that point I liked computer science,but I did not have any special inclination towards it. But after I attended the preparatory camp, which was conducted for the finalists , my perception shifted drastically. The way the teachers at the camp taught computer science made me fall in love with it. The simplicity with which they were able to explain to us the underlying complex concepts had a deep impact on the way I approach problem solving now. Undoubtedly, I can say that it was a great 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?'''
 +
 +
No, everything is fine.
