JOIN 6 WEEKS INNOVATION CAMP IN BERLIN & MEET THE SANDBOXERS BEHIND IT

August 12th, 2009 by Fabian Pfortmüller

Meet Mathias Holzmann and Hans Raffauf, both good friends, Berlin based Sandboxers and their amazing project: Palomar 5.

Palomar5 is a non-profit initiative that brings together 30 of the most inspiring young innovators for an innovation camp. You’ll surely ask yourself: What the f*** is an innovation camp??? Imagine an old factory in Berlin, where 30 international youngsters with big ideas live and work together for 6 weeks. First they will ask what working environments of the future should look like, then they’ll transform their ideas into tangible solutions.

Unlike many conferences and think-tanks, Palomar5 wants to bring together people that don’t just talk about new ideas, but actually want to make them happen. And they will provide you with all the tools you need: a big space, experts, work methods, tools, sessions …

Sandbox is happy and proud to be an active partner and guest curator of this project. What does that mean? We help the guys in Berlin to identify the most inspiring people worldwide and bring them to Germany. So, if you would like to fly to Berlin and be part of the camp from October 9th to November 24th, if you are willing to bring in all your passion and energy, if think that you have the drive to change our world, APPLY.

From the many applicants, 30 people will be carefully chosen. There isn’t a right or a wrong profile. From scientists to artists, designers, hackers, entrepreneurs and philosophers, everyone with curiosity, ideas and power to implement them is highly encouraged to apply.

How to apply? There are special scholarships for Sandbox members, so if you are part of our community and interested to join, please contact Johanna () at the Sandbox Team. For everyone else, please be encouraged to apply here.
