~~I am new in open source and~~ I want to work in open source because I believe in software freedom. I use ~~GNU/Linux~~ for my ~~day-to-day~~ work and software development. I also use several other open source services like Libreoffice, Moodle, ~~Mozilla-~~Firefox etc. Open~~-Source~~ development has introduced me to a whole new world of software development which I was unaware of previously. It has been a great experience to learn new frameworks and to work on building something new using them from my sophomore year itself. I have enjoyed my journey of getting to know people on irc and mailing lists while applying for GSoC and learning from them. It's amazing how people from different time zones can come together to work as a community. I think it would be the best utilization of my summer holidays to work on an open~~-source~~ project ~~this summer~~.

I want to work in open source because I believe in software freedom. I use Ubuntu for my daytoday work and software development. I also use several other open source services like Libreoffice,Moodle, Mozilla Firefox etc. Open Source development has introduced me to a whole new world of software development which I was unaware of previously. It has been a great experience to learn new frameworks (like Phaser, Cordova, Ionic etc.) and to work on building something new using them from my sophomore year itself.

== About your project ==

'''What is the name of your project?'''

Line 169:

This project will bring two new and very interactive activities of Sugar to Sugarizer. These two activities summed up with Turtle Blocks form a complete package for teaching coding and algorithmic approaches to children.These activities provide a different learning experience by using drawings and shapes to be made by coding and logo type interface which can make Sugarizer more content rich and enjoyable educational platform.

Walter Sir’s Answer (GSoC mentor) -

The rationale for porting these activities to JS is to reach out to learners who do not have access to the GNU/Linux desktop. By reaching these learners we will hopefully bring more people into the Sugar way of learning.

Dave Crossland Sir’s(GSoC Mentor) Answer -

If the Turtle Confusion and Flag porting to JavaScript project is successfully completed, the impact on the Sugar Labs community will be another solid contribution to the increasing number of Sugarizer activities that ensure children can learn with any computer that supports HTML5 (such as tablets that are hard to install GNU/Linux on.)

'''What will you do if you get stuck on your project and your mentor isn't around?'''

'''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?'''

This project has potential to make Sugarizer an even better place to learn to code for children than it already is. I will try my best to make ~~this activity~~ the best attraction Sugarizer has among children. Really looking forward to work on this project for the summer.
