Sugar promotes sharing, collaborative learning, and reflection. Through Sugar's ''clarity of design'', children and their teachers have the opportunity to use computation on their own terms; they are free to reshape, reinvent, and reapply both software and content into powerful learning activities. Sugar is a [[Community/GettingInvolved|community project]]; it is based on GNU/Linux, a free and open-source operating system.</p>
