Guided Tour
Contributions
SugarLabs would be very suitable for the students in Ethics and Law course as thay have already done workshops to teach programming to children in schools as Social Impact Poject. They would be users, and from that experience (which they loved) I would encourage them to become translators, educators, content writers or developers.
