===Mission===
===Mission===
The mission of Sugar Labs is to produce, distribute, and support the use of the [[What is Sugar?|Sugar learning platform]]; it is a support base and gathering place for the community of educators and developers to create, extend, teach, and learn with the Sugar learning platform.
Sugar is based on the following [[What is Sugar?|principles]]:
* everyone is a teacher and a learner;
* humans by their nature are social beings; 
* humans by their nature are expressive;
* you learn through doing; and
* love is a better master than duty.
