SUGAR LABS

Our mission: Authentic problem solving The world needs more tools and communities for learn-by-doing education Learners and teachers already have plenty of tools to help them with instruction-based learning. And despite the known benefits, there are very few tools and communities that encourage project-based learning. Sugar Labs's unique mission is to cultivate a community of teachers and learners engaged in learn by doing and, collaboratively, create tools explicitly made for authentic problem solving.

Sugar Labs® is a US-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a global mission to create educational opportunities in technology to youth around the world. Volunteer mentors and contributors work together to develop activity-focused software for children. All software is developed with learning as the primary goal, necessitating the need for source code to be published publicly for study, licensed under a Free/Libre license for explicit permission to share and remix, and openly worked upon within a community where students are invited to make contributions, under guidance of experienced mentors.
