Sugar Application Stack
Sugar is designed to encourage children that have not been exposed or indoctrinated in any exiting computing environment. It has Activities rather that programs or applications. Sugar is implemented on top of existing or modified operating systems and hardware. The Activities are accessed by the user in Sugar. One of the Activities, Browse, has lets the student examine library collections. Some of these are included with the Sugar system. Others may be installed from the web or they can be created locally.
The layers in a Sugar system are:
- Library Collections (Browse Activity) - Activities - Sugar - OS - Hardware
