or indoctrinated in any exiting computing environment. It has
Activities rather that programs or applications. Sugar is
implemented on top of existing or modified operating systems
and hardware. The Activities are accessed by the user in Sugar.
One of the Activities, Browse, has lets the student examine
library collections. Some of these are included with the
Sugar system. Others may be installed from the web or they
can be created locally.
The hierarchy of the system is:
- Library Collections (Browse Activity)
- Activities
- Sugar
- OS
- Hardware
