Sugar promotes sharing, collaborative learning, and reflection. Through Sugar's ''clarity of design'', children and their teachers have the opportunity to use computation on their own terms; they are free to reshape, reinvent, and reapply both software and content into powerful learning activities. Sugar is a [[Community/GettingInvolved|community project]]; it is based on GNU/Linux, a free and open-source operating system.</p>

Sugar is available under the free software GNU General Public License (GPL) to anyone who wants to extend it. “Sugar Labs”, a (soon to be established) non-profit foundation will serve as a support base and gathering place for the community of educators and software developers who want to extend the platform and create Sugar-compatible applications. Sugar Labs software is found on the XO laptop. You can find more out about the project at laptop.org.
