! [[File:Turtle-3d.png|180px|thumb|left]] || width="15%" | Turtle Art 3D || width="15%" | Walter Bender ||align=left valign=top| Sugar is lacking any 3D programming environments. This project would be to develop such an environment. There is a rich program in 3D Logo developed by Horacio Reggini [http://www.horacioreggini.com.ar/?cat=13]. The specific project would be to write an extension to [[Activities/Turtle Art|Turtle Blocks]] to encompass Reggini's ideas.

;Brief explanation: Sugar is lacking any 3D programming environments. This project would be to develop such an environment. There is a rich program in 3D Logo developed by Horacio Reggini [http://www.horacioreggini.com.ar/?cat=13]. The specific project would be to write an extension to [[Activities/Turtle Art|Turtle Blocks]] to encompass Reggini's ideas.
;Expected results: A new Turtle Art plugin that adds basic 3D transforms to Turtle Blocks (e.g., setxyz, pitch, roll, yaw); camera and lighting models; surface texture mapping; and a rich set of example projects. A bonus would be a plugin for generating objects for MineCraft.
;Knowledge prerequisite: Python and some 3D graphics (3D transform) experience.

! [[File:MusicKeyboard.png|180px|thumb|left]] || Music Suite || Gonzalo Odiard ||align=left valign=top| Sugar's primary music offering, the TamTam suite, is woefully inadequate with touch interfaces. The goal of this project is to rewrite the suite to use the underlying mechanisms demonstrated in the touch-friendly Music Keyboard activity.

;Brief explanation: Sugar's primary music offering, the TamTam suite, is woefully inadequate with touch interfaces. The goal of this project is to rewrite the suite to use the underlying mechanisms demonstrated in the touch-friendly Music Keyboard activity.
;Expected results: Touch-friendly replacements for TamTamMini, TamTamJam, TamTamEdit, and TamTamSynthesizerLab.
;Knowledge prerequisite: Python and digital audio experience (CSound a real plus).

;Brief explanation: Sugar need a simple activity to process video. The interface should be simple and need run in a device with low computational and storage resources as the OLPC XO or Intel Classmate. Limited screen real estate must also be a consideration.
;Expected results: A new Sugar activity for rich media editing and an extension to the Sugar toolkit for generating video from data within existing Sugar activities such as FotoToons and Portfolio.
;Knowledge prerequisite: Strong background in Python, GTK and GStreamer.

! [[File:Butia.jpg|180px|left|thumb]] || Assistive Robots || Alan Alguar ||align=left valign=top| In conjunction with the Assitive Interface project, the goal of this project is to provide a physical sensor interface to the Sugar robots suite (Turtle Bot) for people with limited motor control.

;Brief explanation: In conjunction with the Assitive Interface project, the goal of this project is to provide a physical sensor interface to the Sugar robots suite ([http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4434 Turtle Bots]) for people with limited motor control.
;Expected results: We have access to a target population of children with special needs that would love to work with robotics. We expect an adaption of the Turtle Bots (Turtle Blocks) interface to support programming through a simple pointing device to be deployed with this population and to solicit feedback on the intervention.
;Knowledge prerequisite: Strong background in Python programming.
