: (Note that Sugar Labs does not sell hardware, software, or services.) You will need at minimum a 1-GB stick for each student.  Check your local computer store for prices. Right now, it's about $8 USD. To deploy on a large scale, you will also need either very dedicated volunteers or a bulk copy device.  We are using one from NeXcopy that retails for about $1200.  You should also budget for some USB stick loss.
