+Sugar is high-quality software for learning, especially by younger children.
+Sugar is designed for use by people who do not yet have regular or reliable internet access.
+The Sugar Desktop runs on inexpensive desktop and laptop computers that have modest capacity, such as the XO-1 "$100 Laptop" developed by One Laptop per Child (OLPC).
+A web-based version is under development for tablets and phones, called Sugarizer.
+Sugar Activities are applications that run in Sugarizer or the Sugar Desktop.
+Sugar Activities encourage learning through self-discovery and encourage collaboration, expression, and reflection.
+Sugar realises the educational vision of Seymour Papert and Alan Kay by providing a low floor and no ceiling.
+Every Sugar Activity respects every user's freedom to run, study, modify and redistribute it using software licenses compatible with the GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 3 or later.
+Sugar development began in 2006 at OLPC, and in 2009 Sugar Labs was established in service to the Sugar community as a volunteer-led and non-profit project.
+In 2016 the Sugar community is global, and we at Sugar Labs aspire to include users and contributors in all countries, all languages, and all cultures.
+We facilitate knowledge and software sharing among all people; we relate the software freedom movement to education.
+We provide plans for how to best use Sugar to improve learning, intended for individual parents and teachers all the way to national policy.
+We raise funds and use them to accelerate the progress of our Members, enabling them to access laptops, travel, and more.
+We make things to think with.
+Join us.
