0005 ## Presentation
0006 [GCompris](https://gcompris.net) is a high quality educational software suite,
0007 including a large number of activities for children aged 2 to 10.
0008 Some of the activities are game orientated, but still educational.
0009
0010 Currently GCompris offers more than 100 activities, and more are being
0011 developed. GCompris is free software, it means that you can use it as you
0012 wish, adapt it to your own needs, improve it, and, most importantly, share it
0013 with everyone.
0014
0015 This version is a full rewrite of GCompris using the QtQuick technology. It is
0016 developed within the [KDE community](https://www.kde.org) and is part of the
0017 [GNU Project](https://www.gnu.org/education/edu-software-gcompris.en.html).
0018
0019 ## Goal
0020
0021 There are many simple activities dedicated to children on any platforms,
0022 desktops, web and tablets. When they exist, they are hard to find and request
0023 the teacher or parent to manage a lot of independant small tools.
0024
0025 GCompris is an educational suite of activities, all accessible from a
0026 single unified user interface.
0027
0028 ## How
0029
0030 GCompris is designed in a way that it is easy to add new activities to it. The
0031 activity is free to implement the game scheme it wants. The status bar is a
0032 common facility provided to the activities.
0033
0034 GCompris provides some tools for teachers/educators to easily add activities.
