The basic idea is to create a “microworld” for nutrition. The project will provide basis functions for exploring nutrition. A set of activities is to be designed that would engage children in some basic concepts. Workshop will be conducted with children and teachers to test the decisions made.

I will be keeping a blog throughout the entire duration of the project. I will update the blog with the status of my weekly progress and a summary of the work done during the week. I will try to use the mailing list and the irc channel to inform the community about the problems or the questions that I might face during the duration of the project.

When I was in class 8th, I was selected as one of the top 4 finalist in National Cyber Olympiad. Up until that point I liked computer science,but I did not have any special inclination towards it. But after I attended the preparatory camp, which was conducted for the finalists , my perception shifted drastically. The way the teachers at the camp taught computer science made me fall in love with it. The simplicity with which they were able to explain to us the underlying complex concepts had a deep impact on the way I approach problem solving now. Undoubtedly, I can say that it was a great learning experience for me.
