'''What is your first language?'''

My first language is 'Hindi'. Though I'm ~~well~~ proficient in 'English' as well.

This plugin would add basic 3D transforms to Turtle Blocks (e.g., setxyz, pitch, roll, yaw), camera and lighting models, surface texture mapping, and a rich set of example projects. One of the possible ways of creating models would be to use the concept of objects. An extended goal, if time permits would be a plugin for generating objects for MineCraft.

This ~~plugin~~ would be useful to students of the age-group 10 – 15. It would enable them to create 3D figures using simple logo blocks. This would help them in a number of ways:

* serve as a precursor to learning programming languages in future

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

A great learning experience would be when I was ~~first introduced~~ to ~~Computer Programming with Logo~~ as ~~my first language when~~ I was a ~~kid~~. It was ~~fascinating to see~~ the ~~figures get created with such simple yet logical code. This drew my interest~~ in ~~programming and made me dive deeper into learning more about it~~.

A great learning experience for me would be when I used to teach Maths to my little brother. Initially I was afraid to do so as I myself was not an expert in it and had a tendency to avoid. But it was later that I realized that teaching not only helped him, but also aided me in improving my Mathematical skills and refining my concepts. It was then that I realized the value of imparting knowledge in whatever way you can.
