+## This Week’s Achievements
+
+1. **Prepared a presentation for the DMP Midterm Evaluation.**  
+   - I prepared a comprehensive presentation to showcase the progress of the **Pippy Debugger** at the DMP midterm review. The presentation covered everything from project objectives and methods to current results, challenges, and future plans.
+   - Additionaly, I also gave a mock presentation of my work to the Sugar Labs mentors.

+
+2. **Started working on developing API endpoint in Sugar-AI**  
+   - Began development of a new `/debug` endpoint in Sugar-AI. This endpoint will handle code input and return structured debug suggestions from the LLM.
+   - I have also started the process of integrating Sugar-AI with Pippy.
