Science Sandbox

Science Sandbox supports boundary-pushing, interdisciplinary projects that support science in culture. We identify people and organizations who seek to inspire and empower, and partner with them to support their vision. Through our partnerships we strive to bring to light the role scientific inquiry can play in people’s day-to-day lives, while centering communities and voices that have been historically underserved.
