Answer from me:

The completion of this project would give teachers more dedicated to traditional, presentation-based curriculum a new means to broadcast their information. This would benefit Sugar Labs by providing more interested pilot schools.

The completion of this project would give teachers more dedicated to traditional, presentation-based curriculum a new means to broadcast their information. This would benefit Sugar Labs by providing more interested pilot schools. The potential for this project to reduce teachers' dependence on projectors, and arguably even replace them in certain contexts, would also make it an attractive feature for any schools considering participation in the pilot program.

'''Sugar Labs will be working to set up a small (5-30 unit) Sugar pilot near each student project that is accepted to GSoC so that you can immediately see how your work affects children in a deployment. We will make arrangements to either supply or find all the equipment needed. Do you have any ideas on where you would like your deployment to be, who you would like to be involved, and how we can help you and the community in your area begin it?'''

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

The first time I entered the local public library with the intention of checking out books for personal reading enjoyment, I went through the fiction section and checked out many well-known fantasy novels, then spent the next 3 weeks reading through them, probably doing more reading than I had ever done before. Though I didn't learn much factual information, the experience instilled in me a passion for reading.

'''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?'''

We endorse them all; although Sugar is (regrettably) not test driven development (yet - your project could change that!), we encourage GSoC code to include tests.
