== Why do you contribute to Sugar? davelab6 ==
I am convinced about Sugar because I believe learning through self-discovery is a powerful way for young people to become good people, good citizens, and to find some particular talents to develop to the maximum; and I believe Sugar is software that encourages such learning.

At Sugar Labs we make a collection of Free/Libre Software tools that learners use to *explore*, *discover*, *create*, and *reflect*. We distribute these tools freely and encourage our users to appropriate them, taking ownership and responsibility for their learning. To me, one important goal at Sugar Labs is to have our user community engage in the development process. Towards this end, we have provided scaffolding to support our users in their exploration of the tools themselves and how the tools are built. This has not been just an intellectual exercise. We design for end-user contributions, and we have seen learners taking ownership and the responsibility that comes with ownership. Sugar users, even when they don’t made contributions to the code, are active learners, who are immersed in a culture where they are encouraged to create as well as consume.

I contribute to Sugar because there are thousands of children around me who use Sugar every day and they deserve appropriate and relevant software that helps them reshape their reality to a more just, verdant and collaborative world. We are just not there yet. I believe Sugar Labs provides basic infrastructure for developers but lacks a vision to articulate field needs and potentialities with talented people in a sustainable manner.

Es necesario pensar Sugar como un espacio de aprendizaje más que como software. Sugar se desarrolla de acuerdo a las características propias de los niños, ya que estos no son adultos en miniatura. Esto se contrapone con la tendencia mundial de diseñar máquinas iguales a las del mundo adultos en tamaños reducidos, infantilizando los escritorios a los que ellos están acostumbrados y utilizando aplicaciones que son valiosos para el adulto, sin tener en cuenta los proceso de aprendizaje de los niños. Esto incentiva al docente a rediseñar sus prácticas. Sugar es el mejor ambiente para potenciar los cambios en las prácticas institucionales que los educadores buscamos, dando un espacio creativo, de autoaprendizaje y de producción para los niños .

I worked with Sugar till today as I have personally tested it with children from the gifted to the developmentally delay; and made many video-recordings of children using it over the years under many different circumstances. It works - Sugar simplicity and flexibility makes it my best choice as a clinical or educational tools, to help children be empowered in their learning.

Sugar has made me see things differently, it has given me an oppurtunity to learn and to grow, not everyone in my area know about sugar and I'm lucky to, this area of my life has never been the same since i met some persons in sugar, i strive to learn more one of the reasons being to contribute to sugar, sugar has given a platform where you can create whatever you want to see(via sugar activities). Sugar has made learning interactive, i remember back then in junior high, we used to learn french with the sugar platform on our XO's. I love being part of sugar and I'll always be part of this great organization.

I contribute to Sugar because the current EduTech used in ACT schools is so boring. Sugar shows that we can make awesome software for schools, rather than the meh software like managebac or google classrrom. We can best integrate collaboration, journalling, reflection and creation - tailoring the whole experience to education.
