Sugar reinvents how computers can be used for education. It promotes sharing and collaborative learning and gives children the opportunity to use their laptops on their own terms. Children — and their teachers — have the freedom to reshape, reinvent, and reapply their software, and content. Sugar is based on GNU/Linux, a free and open-source operating system.

Home sharing.png

Sugar facilitates sharing and collaboration

Children can write documents or make music together with ease.

Home activities.png

There are no files, folders or applications

What you do is an activity and that includes the application and all your data. You can resume any activity at any time.

Home backup.png

You can hardly lose data.

Everything is saved and backed up automatically.

Home journal.png

You use a journal for accessing data.

It's like a diary of stuff that you made.

Home opensource.png

It's all Free and Open-Source Software.

There are no strings attached and updates will always respect users' freedom.

What are the Sugar Labs?

Sugar is available under the free software GNU General Public License (GPL) to anyone who wants to extend it. “Sugar Labs”, a (soon to be established) non-profit foundation will serve as a support base and gathering place for the community of educators and software developers who want to extend the platform and create Sugar-compatible applications. Sugar Labs software is found on the XO laptop. You can find more out about the project at laptop.org.
