+# Midterm Progress Report (6 Week Summary)
+
+## Project Objective
+
+The goal of this project is to enhance the Pippy learning environment by integrating an LLM-powered debugger. The debugger uses LLMs to provide readable, friendly suggestions for fixing broken code, helping young learners understand and improve their programs.
+
+---
+
+## Technical Implementation
+
+- Set up a **FastAPI backend** (`/debug`) to handle Python code input.
+
+- Integrated **Hugging Face model** for generating debugging tips.
+
+- Created **Run & Debug** buttons in Pippy’s GTK interface.
+
+- Connected **Pippy**  with the backend server via API.
+
+- Implemented a **Debug terminal** in the UI to display suggestions.
+
+- Developed a **basic Markdown parser** for formatted output in VTE.
+
+- Added a **Contextualization step** to show students what the code intends to do before debugging begins.
+
+---
+
+## Research & Design
+
+- Explored multiple **UI layouts** for debug output.
+
+- Tested different **LLM prompts** for clarity and simplicity.
+
+- Held discussions on **Debugging best practices for children**.
+
+- Evaluated models and selected **Mistral 7B** for deployment via Sugar AI.
