[Sugar-devel] One for Grandma and Grandpa

[Christian Stroetmann]

Hi Paul

Yes indeed we have created a new concept that is basically the 
transformation of the Sugar learning environment developed solely for 
very young children to an operating system environment for older persons.
For sure, the main focus on the side of the activities is not that a 
grandma or a grandpa will toy with Turtle for example, which she or he 
can do, but to use the basic software platform with upcoming activities 
for the older persons.
Activities like this have to be designed in a very similar way like 
activities for children, but they can comprise many other activities 
that children are not interested in. Very prominent examples are 
assistants systems, home automation applications, and ambient intelligence.
Also, some other icons have to be designed.

Does this answer your question?



Have fun
