Service Projects

Service Projects are critical to the ongoing success of Sandbox. Through these projects the space is capable of evolving and improving to meet future needs.

Service projects can happen organically, where one or more makers identify a need, discus the need with other managers and staff, then implement a solution to solve the need.

Another and equally important approach to Service Projects is to adopt a project proposed by others. Adopted projects are often more complicated or subtle problems that need hard work to solve.
