Sugar reinvents how computers can be used for education. Sugar provides a simple yet powerful means of engaging young children in the world of learning that is opened up by computing and the Internet. Sugar promotes sharing, collaborative learning, and reflection. Through Sugar's clarity of design, children and their teachers 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 project.

About Sugar

Home sharing.png

Sugar facilitates sharing and collaboration.

Children write documents, share books and pictures, or make music together with ease.

Home activities.png

There are no files, folders, or applications.

The basic unit of interaction is an activity; it includes an application, data, and a history of the interaction that can be used to resume the activity at any time.

Home backup.png

Everything is saved automatically.

Our goal is to make it almost impossible to lose any data.

Home journal.png

A Journal is used for accessing data.

The Journal is a diary of things that you make and actions you take; it is a place to reflect upon your work.

Linux2.png

Sugar is available on many GNU/Linux distributions.

Sugar is supported by and easily installed on Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, and Fedora.

Home opensource.png

Sugar is free software.

Sugar is licensed under GPL; updates will always respect the freedom of its users.

Latest news

For more news about Sugar Labs, please see visit the Current Events page.

Try Sugar
