We're excited to launch a pilot of Sugar Summer of Code with Muhammad Haroon. He's working on creating a tool that uses gen-AI to create user-prompted audio samples in Music Blocks. We'll share more in the coming months. #SugarSummerOfCode #SSoC2025 #MusicBlocks #GenAI
☀️ Sugar Summer of Code 2025 ☀️ I’m excited to share that I’ve been selected as an Intern for the Sugar Summer of Code 2025!!! 💻 This summer, I’ll be working on Generative AI Instrument Sample Generation for Music Blocks, creating an AI tool which will give users limitless options to create samples. A heartfelt thanks to Sugar Labs, Devin Ulibarri and Walter Bender for giving me this incredible opportunity. Special thanks to my family members especially Sarah Jawaid, for their unwavering support and to Saad Bazaz for his invaluable guidance throughout this journey. Excited for what lies ahead! 🚀 #SugarLabs #OpenSource #ArtificialIntelligence #GenerativeAI #SugarSummerofCode

In celebration of starting our second year of mentoring for DMP (Code for GovTech (C4GT)), Shubham Singh and Devin Ulibarri created this: https://lnkd.in/gWD_JqQH 🎇 🎇 🎇 Everything you see in the video is code in Music Blocks, run in real time. The animation frames were designed and created in Figma by Shubham. Enjoy!

Today, Sugar Labs is hosting a Generative AI development showcase, where we're demoing audio-ti-midi musical transcription, a lesson plan generator, a playful "persona" app, and more. Make sure to attend it today at 1pm EDT (17:00 UTC). #SugarLabs #Learning #Teaching #Constructionism #Music #GenAI #Development #EdTech #Innovation
We've made a few tools over the past couple years that utilize open-source large language models and neural networks. This event will present some of the work we've done. #SugarLabs #MusicBlocks #AI #Software #Development #Programming #Learning #Education #Constructionism

I had the opportunity to attend “The Role of GenAI in Education” by Ken Kahn, PhD, hosted by Sugar Labs Labs on May 16th, 2025. Many thanks to Devin Ulibarri and Walter Bender for organizing this insightful session. Key highlights from the discussion included: 1. The role of Generative AI in education 2. Ethical implications of GenAI in learning environments 3. Open (free/libre) source vs. closed-source approaches 4. A hands-on demonstration of a locally run GenAI model (DeepSeek), simulating a conversation as Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of the Milky Way! I’m also looking forward to reading The Learner’s Apprentice by Ken Kahn. Please watch the session here: https://lnkd.in/gFhrECw7 #OpenSource #SugarLabs #GenAI #Education

Today's event on the role of gen-AI in education: Are you prepared? Let's have a little fun. Perhaps we'll have a surprise guest appearance from Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of the Milky Way. 😉
I'm preparing for today's event by asking a locally run gen-AI model (DeepSeek) to pretend it's the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*, and have a conversation with me about spacetime. 😀 This was inspired from some ideas in Ken Kahn's book *The Learner's Apprentice*. I hope to see you at today's event with Sugar Labs. #Education #GenAI #Learning #Constructionism #Fun #SugarLabs #DeepSeek

🚀 I’m officially a Google Summer of Code 2025 Contributor! After months of active community participation, consistent contributions, and countless late-night proposal revisions — I’m thrilled to share that my proposal with Sugar Labs has been accepted by Google Summer of Code 2025! This summer, I’ll be working on Music Blocks v4 – Masonry Module, building tools that make music and code more accessible for learners around the world. 🎶💻 This isn’t just a moment of celebration — it’s a reminder that #consistency, #curiosity, and #contribution truly compound. A heartfelt thank you to my mentors Devin Ulibarri, Anindya Kundu, Sumit Srivastava and to Zishan Ahmad for the initial guidance on #GSoC. I’m also incredibly grateful to the #OpenSource community that believed in me, guided me, and inspired me throughout this journey. To anyone aspiring to be part of GSoC: It’s not just about writing perfect code — it’s about showing up, learning out loud, and contributing meaningfully. You’re closer than you think! ✨ Excited for what’s ahead — let’s make this summer count! #GoogleSummerOfCode #GSoC2025 #SugarLabs #MusicBlocks
