;Brief explanation: '''Sugar Labs Social''' is a website project which should serve a purpose to help people understand and discuss project(s) around Sugar Labs. The goal of this project is to attract Teachers, Parents, Developers and fully communicate together in one platform.  : Its a social website that can be used to attract maximum users and everything ( Blogs, New projects, Softwares, Activities, etc) can be uploaded on it which will attract more user and create their interest.

;Brief explanation:Well, Develop a testimonal webpage on Sugarlabs website by making a good research about the users who have experienced the world of Sugar. That should include videos, blog posts and many more things. For such type of layout example visit ( https://www.chownow.com/testimonials-reviews ) and ( https://www.codecademy.com/stories )

;Expected results: A working method for interfacing with a simple robot; additional features within MB to ease interfacing; and full documentation of how to recreate successful projects (that a classroom could use); communication (we do not want to guess what experiments you are doing by yourself--do not be shy to send emails, videos, pictures DAILY!!!)

;Brief explanation: [https://walterbender.github.io/musicblocks/ Music Blocks] has some examples already, but it would be nice to have one ambitious student really work for the summer to make new creative, thoughtful code everyday. Secondary, but important goals, are bug reports when bugs are found, feature suggestions, and overall good and frequent communication with the Music Blocks team.

;Brief explanation: There are features in [https://github.com/walterbender/musicblocks/tree/master/guide#3213-setting-voice-and-keys MB for exploring modes/scales/keys which can are referenced in the guide]. However, we suspect that there are better ways to organize keys. This project would be to reimagine how MB organizes pitches. We recommend that you read the discussions that have taken place already on GitHub as well as research how keys work as well as [https://owncloud.libretools.com/index.php/s/2GtAhkvQpt3fYfF scholarly articles about temperament, scales, and tuning]. Keep in mind that we would like to prepare for the possibility of chromatic pitch spaces that are not 12--for example, a chroma of 5 or 7 or 13, etc. What features and widgets are needed?

Are there libraries that may be useful?) 4) widget design proposal as well as MB code design proposal.

;Brief explanation: Music Blocks does not yet have a robust set of tools to help the user analyze their music (e.g. highest pitch, lowest pitch, pitches used, keys, musical form, intervals etc.). Additionally, users would very much benefit from features to help them visualize the way their music is constructed. Perhaps we could even create some features to help the user choose a style of music and the analysis highlights movements that violate that style's particular rules.
