In 2025, Sugar Labs made significant progress in various projects. We participated in Google Summer of Code (GSoC), Dedicated Mentorship Program (DMP) and Sugar Summer of Code (SSoC). We mentored seventeen students, creating some innovative new learning tools together with the mentees, documenting our work on our website and on YouTube.

We also partnered with DataKind to better understand our impact, and we plan to use the results of our self-reflective research to steer our work going forward.

To support this work and continue achieving more in 2026, Sugar Labs relies on donations to fund its operations, new initiatives, and maintenance of Constructionist learning tools. There are several ways to make a financial contribution:
