Sugar provides a simple yet powerful means of engaging young children in the world of learning that is opened up by computers and the Internet. Sugar promotes sharing, collaborative learning, and reflection. Through Sugar's clarity of design, children and their teachers use computers on their own terms; they are free to reshape, reinvent, and reapply both software and content into powerful learning activities.
