A learning Experience I had as a kid that I would like to describe is the classes of my Science teacher in the 3rd and 4th grade. He held a questions day weekly, where every student could come up with a question about the world around us. The entire week, we would nitpick trivial things around us and come up with questions such as 'Why do we sneeze?' and the likes. Then he would answer every question patiently as each of us listened in rapt attention. This taught me that we listen to answers when we are interested in the question. Questions and answers together on a platter just isn't the right way to learn. It taught me that learning comes from curiosity and we can find it all around us - but we have to come up with the questions, rack our brains and finally be eager to find the right answer... that is when we truly learn something of value. I think I still remember exactly why we sneeze.
I would like to write a little bit about why I want to contribute to sugar in particular. Education, I believe still hasn't been modernized, we aren't making use of all the technologies we have to make learning better and more effective. I also believe that education has to be free and accessible to everyone. I think Sugar does a great job towards this and I want to be a little part of this effort to modernize education.
