First taste: Sugar on a Stick learning platform
Sugar Labs has launched the first beta release of Sugar on a Stick, a new version of the open source Sugar Learning Platform that is designed to boot on conventional desktop computers and run directly from USB flash memory devices.
The Sugar software environment was originally created for the One Laptop Per Child project's XO laptop. It offers a unique child-friendly user interface and includes an assortment of applications that are geared towards education and collaboration.
The platform is currently maintained by Sugar Labs, a nonprofit organization that was founded by former OLPC software director Walter Bender. The organization is building a more inclusive and community-driven culture around Sugar development and is working to bring the platform to a broader audience of students.
The Sugar on a Stick (SoaS) initiative is part of a broad effort to simplify deployment of the Sugar platform and make it more accessible to students.
