Education is something which is very close to my heart. Sugar labs is an outstanding organisation. I am excited by each effort this organisation takes for child education. I came to know about sugar labs through OLPC laptops which i want in Govt. schools of New Delhi for kids. Gsoc 15 was few months ahead, so realized to finish something cool for kids in summer & contribute to Sugar labs as well. | Education is something which is very close to my heart.

One Additional feature would be to let user drop their own physics simulator to run PhysicsJS. Further i am planning to cast a comparison model of how well users model does vs observed data. | One Additional feature would be to let user drop their own physics simulator to run PhysicsJS.

Education has to be collaborative & competitive. Physics & Dimensions are nice attributes to these senses. They not only let you imagine physical world eye to eye & match pattern at first place, they also provide a progression of tools for users such that they can go from simple to rich interactions with the powerful ideas in computation. I believe these projects will head to a big success in future. | Education has to be collaborative & competitive. Physics & Dimensions are nice attributes to these senses.

'''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.<br> | '''What is the timeline for development of your project?

'''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.

'''''My | '''''My Opinion''''': Sugar believes that "Everyone is a teacher and a learner". My projects Physics & Dimensions would be one of the best available tools for learners and teachers. Around 3 Million Children are sugar users. We want Sugar and Sugar activities freely and readily available to learners everywhere, hence web ports are a dire need saying web platform are a faster & cheapest. Kids at any corner of world would be able to learn Physics practically and Dimensions to increase their observational skills that helps them think quickly & enrich their mental skills. | ||
'''''Walter:'' ''' The Physics activity is one of the more popular Sugar activities. However, it is getting harder to maintain since the core libraries it is based on are deprecated. A fresh start is warranted. Migrating to JS makes sense because (1) there are some well supported libraries and (2) there is the opportunity to import data from real-world sources in a web-based approach. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. | '''''Walter:'' ''' The Physics activity is one of the more popular Sugar activities.

'''''Gonzalo'': '''I think a open ended physics emulator activity, with a simple but powerful interface and a few clever examples the kids can use and modify would be a great addition to Sugar.There are good libraries for JS to do it, and will solve the limitations we currently have with our actual pygame implementation. | '''''Gonzalo'': '''I think a open ended physics emulator activity, with a simple but powerful interface and a few clever examples the kids can use and modify would be a great addition to Sugar.There are good libraries for JS to do it, and will solve the limitations we currently have with our actual pygame implementation. | ||

I am quite active on IRC as well and i believe is the fastest medium for me. Once my mentor appears i will pass links to my code & wiki to him to have a quick check up. I will create a thread on '''[http://sugar-devel.sugarlabs.narkive.com/ Mailing List]''' as well that would help other developers for regular updates on PhyscisJS and DimensionsJS Development. | ||
