What is Sugar?

Sugar reinvents how computers can be used for education. It promotes sharing and collaborative learning and gives children the opportunity to use their laptops on their own terms. Children — and their teachers — have the freedom to reshape, reinvent, and reapply their software, and content. Sugar is based on GNU/Linux, a free and open-source operating system.
Sugar facilitates sharing and collaboration:
Children can write documents or make music together with ease.
There are no files, folders or applications:
What you do is an activity and that includes the application and all your data. You can resume any activity at any time.
You can hardly lose data:
Everything is saved and backed up automatically.
You use a journal for accessing data:
Its like a diary of stuff that you made.
It's all Open Source Software:
There are no strings attached and updates will always be free.

"It's an education project, not a laptop project."
