[Sugar-devel] GSoC 2025 – SugarLabs Math Games Project - Updated Proposal

[Samiksha Sharma]

Hello Walter and Ibiam,

I hope you got a chance to go through the below updated proposal with more detailed explanation of how I will ensure the games integrate seamlessly with Sugar Activities, where I specifically outlined the toolkits used within Sugar Labs.

It will be great if you could provide your 2nd feedback on this.

Please find the revised proposal attached for your reference.

Regards,
Samiksha Sharma

It would be helpful to know a bit more about how you are making these Sugar activities as opposed to just GTK activities. Have you looked at the Sugar toolkit?

regards.

Hello Walter,

I hope you're doing well!

I'm a Master's student in Computer Science at Purdue University, with almost years of work experience and have a strong background in Python and a passion for building interactive learning tools.

I’m very interested in contributing to the SugarLabs Math Games project as part of GSoC 2025 this summer. The idea of developing engaging math activities like Number Detective and Sorting Hat AI really excites me—especially combining learning with AI and logic in a fun, accessible way. I would love to be a part of SugarLabs initiative.

I’m excited to connect and discuss how I can best contribute to this project and attached my resume for reference.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Best Regards,
