;Brief explanation: We have been discussing the implications of removing the duo-tone restriction on Sugar icons, allowing for full-color icons. We can likely use badges to compensate for any functionality we'd lose. (See [https://medium.com/@sidhant/designing-interfaces-for-education-systems-with-sugar-labs-rethinking-icons-on-sugar-614120e7ec6f] as one example of how we might proceed.). Like if an activity has not closed yet so it will be shown through a badge appearing on an icon. Repo can be found here https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-toolkit-gtk3/tree/master/src/sugar3

;Brief explanation: In much the same way that [https://www.codecademy.com/courses/programming-intro/0/1#!/exercises/0 ( example here )] walks newbies through the basics of programming in Javascript, it would be nice to walk newbies through the basics of Turtle Blocks. There is already a provision within Turtle Blocks for programatically creating and moving blocks and executing program stacks. So it would be a matter of developing the exercises.
;Expected results: Website for teaching and having exercises with Turtle Blocks.
;Knowledge prerequisites: Requires some familiarity with Logo programming and Python.

;Brief explanation: [https://walterbender.github.io/musicblocks/ Music Blocks] has a good enough UI, but there are open issues remaining and it would be nice if a person with a high level of understanding of graphics and style were to proposal and implement changes that unify the entire look and feel of Music Blocks.

;Brief explanation: There are features in [https://github.com/walterbender/musicblocks/tree/master/guide#3213-setting-voice-and-keys MB for exploring modes/scales/keys which can are referenced in the guide]. However, we suspect that there are better ways to organize keys. This project would be to reimagine how MB organizes pitches. We recommend that you read the discussions that have taken place already on GitHub as well as research how keys work as well as [https://owncloud.libretools.com/index.php/s/2GtAhkvQpt3fYfF scholarly articles about temperament, scales, and tuning]. Keep in mind that we would like to prepare for the possibility of chromatic pitch spaces that are not 12--for example, a chroma of 5 or 7 or 13, etc. What features and widgets are needed?

;Brief explanation: Music Blocks does not yet have a robust set of tools to help the user analyze their music (e.g. highest pitch, lowest pitch, pitches used, keys, musical form, intervals etc.). Additionally, users would very much benefit from features to help them visualize the way their music is constructed. Perhaps we could even create some features to help the user choose a style of music and the analysis highlights movements that violate that style's particular rules.

;Brief explanation: Music Blocks is essentially a Logo interpreter. It would be great to be able to export Logo from Music Blocks. (We need to find a Logo that can handle the basic synthesizer needs to make it relevant.)

;Brief explanation: We don't have a beginner guide for the newcomers to the Sugar labs Community. It would be great to guide them by guiding them how to contribute through making these "form where to start? , What to start? , How to start? , Where to submit? " . An example is the Coala [http://api.coala.io/en/latest/Developers/Newcomers_Guide.html Newcomers' Guide] which is built from [https://github.com/coala/coala/blob/6dae06082017587a260189a787db9cfdc84a148b/docs/Developers/Newcomers_Guide.rst markdown source]. The goal of this task is to Help newcomers to get introduce in easy way to the world of Sugar Labs also make a dasboard for the users so they can get about developed and developing areas. Their contribution can be seen also their presence can be seen with the community.

;Brief explanation: [https://scratch.mit.edu/ Scratch] is a programming environment for kids. The goal of this project is to make bring back the [[Activities/Scratch|Scratch activity]] to the Sugar Desktop. Scratch 3.0 was created with HTML 5 using [https://developers.google.com/blockly/ Google’s blocky].
:# Port scratch 3.0 as a Sugar activity using method [https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar-docs/blob/master/src/web-activity.md 1] or [https://github.com/walterbender/turtle-blocks-embedded-activity 2]. Method 1, a web activity that can run on the Sugar Desktop. While method 2, an embedded activity that can run inside browser activity. There have been some development of [https://github.com/EmilyOng/embedded-scratch-activity scratch to sugar] and a yet to release version of [https://github.com/EmilyOng/Scratch.activity scratch in Sugarizer].
:# Make the scratch libraries to work completely offline, so a user can import sprite without have issues of internet connection. A possible way is to fork the [https://github.com/LLK/scratch-storage scratch-storage] and [https://github.com/LLK/scratch-gui scratch-gui] modules to make them work offline by linking the libraries to local assets on the filesystem. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Service_Worker_API/Using_Service_Workers https://hackernoon.com/service-worker-one-fallback-offline-image-for-any-aspect-ratio-b427c0f897fb
;Expected results: A stable working Scratch 3 on Sugar Desktop.: User to "save project" within the scratch activity into the journal, making it easy to resume project.
: Make the Scratch activity work completely offline stated at 2.
;Knowledge prerequisites: Python, GTK, JavaScript knowledge

;Brief explanation: Sugarizer is a large collection of many Activities suitable for general audiences on many devices. The goal of this project is to package a subset of the Sugarizer Activities (Maximum of 5) for children 4-7 (grades Pre-K-2) with a young child-friendly UI/UX experience suitable devices. Many of the graphics in the interfaces will be re-designed to accommodate non-readers and very young children who are still developing their fine motor skills. One new Activity for intuitive math concepts will also be developed similar to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuisenaire_rods Cuisenaire Rods]. Sugarizer1° will be non-language dependent so translations will not be needed.
;Expected results: At the end of the summer project, a prototype of Sugarizer1° will be ready for beta testing by children, parents, and educators. .
;Knowledge prerequisites: Javascript, HTML, CSS and some knowledge of layout and design. A familiarity of how young children play and learn will also be helpful.
