"Sugar on a Stick is an innovative solution that delivers, in one easy-to-use product, what schools must now buy as several different products and services."   Our product gives students a complete learning environment on an inexpensive USB Key.  With Sugar on a Stick, students obtain "any time, any computer" access to learning. 

Sugar on a Stick provides the infrastructure needed to transform educational content and make an impact on student learning, engagement, and performance by allowing the creation and delivery of interactive, collaborative and differentiated digital content.  Sugar on a Stick offers a robust and extendable platform with a low cost of ownership.  With its own Linux operating system, each key has the ability to operate any computer regardless of its age, configuration, software systems, or hardware components.  The secret lies in the ability to bypass the pre-installed current operating system and software setup on any computer.

Research corroborates the positive effects of a 1:1 student to computer environment.  However, most school systems struggle to maintain an average of 4:1 in the classroom, with many of these designated "working" computers being too old and ineffective.  With Sugar on a Stick, schools may utilize their existing hardware, even donated old machines without hard drives, while drastically reducing support costs and user frustration.  Sugar on a Stick expands the options on a down market as it works effectively on low-cost and low-power computers.

Overall benefits are impressive. The student computing experience is transformed while the teachers gain access to tools that give them easy access to an ever increasing supply of high quality, innovative online content and activities.
