This summer, we're planning to work on everything from a git backend for Turtle Blocks and Music Blocks to new Sugarizer Activities to LLM-powered debuggers for young learners. See the full list of ideas: https://github.com/sugarlabs/GSoC/blob/master/Ideas-2025.md

Please help us welcome this summer’s Google Summer of Code team for Music Blocks development.

This summer, we have three projects that explore using generative AI to help teachers and learners with creating musical code, as well as transcribing musical ideas and making lesson plans. We also have one project to create a new, totally revamped “version 4” of the visual programming language.

Students at today's class created their own paint programs. Some of the versions changed the pen's color over time, some changed the pen size based on input to the computer's microphone, and some played a drum sound while drawing. This picture is a student's creation, both code and art.
