* Describe your project in 10-20 sentences. What are you making? Who are you making it for, and why do they need it?

The main idea is to make an activity that helps children learn programing robots,and that can provide a platform to help children learn about cybernetics | |||
The scope of the proposal for gsoc would be generating a GUI for emulating different kinds of robots, after gsoc period, focus would be interaction of Robots with the physical world. | |||
i.e controlling physical robots with the code made by emulation. | |||
The theory of this proposal are in one of Marvin Minsky's essays | |||
* What is the timeline for development of your project? The Summer of Code work period is 7 weeks long, May 23 - August 10; 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 (July 6-13); the last steps always take longer than you think, and we will consider cancelling projects which are not mostly working by then. | * What is the timeline for development of your project?
