Official Launch of the Sndbox Blog [An Educational + Exploratory Steem Journal]
Pressed into Action
Last week we kicked off the 2nd Cohort of the Sndbox incubator. With Cohort 2 we have a lot of exciting updates to the program including public resources and weekly challenges that are open for everyone to participate in.
Today we're announcing one of the biggest strides to better organize Steem educational content, broadcast Cohort member work and and showcase developments across the incubator - a dedicated website powered by @steempress! We're excited to be building out a public blog so that everyone, even those not yet in the Steem ecosystem as well as Steemians interested in participating in Sndbox activities, can learn about the projects created in the incubator and the resources / decentralized tools used to make them happen.
Today, we’ll be doing a virtual tour of the sections of the site and the various components we’ll be developing as this season’s program moves forward.
Sections
Landing Page
The landing page is a blog feed that will showcase an archive of article contributions by our global team members. As part of the 4-month syllabus - members are asked to provide one post per month to update the public and share their progress within the incubator. This section will put members’ work on center stage and provide a more navigable interface to follow great projects and authors.
Alongside Cohort content, Sndbox will be publishing community material, program updates and project campaigns, alumni work, event synopses, and the educational tutorials we create for everyone to access.
Steem Resources
We are in the process of populating this section with updated tutorials that we first created last year, most of which you can see in our latest Master Post that links to newcomer guides to the Steemit interface and Steem blockchain. For now, and to make the resources more navigable to newcomers who don’t have an account, we’ve created an interactive Welcome to Steem Guideto introduce and answer some of the main inquiries when first interacting with Steem and Steemit. Much has changed since our first tutorials almost a year ago, and we’ll begin to revamp them over the course of the next several weeks for our new members and the Steem public.
Projects
A central goal by the end of the 4-month incubator program is for members to develop projects that really capture the impact of Steem. Many of the major initiatives from the first cohort were showcased in our first “The Crypto Renaissance” exhibition, including the @phillyhistorycurriculum at Temple University and the @kr-marketing collaboration with @keepit. Our program now is more structured to help members develop and execute these types of creative and social initiatives. This will include learning about and using Steem applications including @steempress, @fundition, @dtube, and many more.
As such, the Sndbox blog will serve as the portfolio of projects for all of our members and alumni, as well as a main showcase of what’s possible across the Steem ecosystem.
Program, Stewards, About Us
These sections go more in depth with the different faces and missions of Sndbox and its community. We’re striving to have as much of the program open as possible and we encourage anyone and everyone to follow the activities along the way.
Stewards also make up a tremendous component of the network, helping guide the cohort with their experience and input.
Major Milestones
Lastly, this page will be a strong front-end for all the events, our meetup group, public lectures, workshops and installation activities we're looking to cultivate here in New York City and beyond. Our team was overwhelmed by the positive reaction to the Crypto Renaissanceexhibition this summer and look forward to pushing that envelope further as the Steem ecosystem matures and the blockchain world continues to grow.
We’ll be updating you all as new features of the blog are developed and more information is available to share for new, prospective, and veteran Steemians!

Thank you so much @fundition team! Your support has been instrumental for us and in making the Crypto Renaissance exhibition a reality! Now, we're building out a stronger front-end website to showcase that very project and others like it. While this Fundition campaign is officially coming to a close this week... we have a lot more in store! :D
The site is really amazing looking @sndbox, I can't wait to share it with my friends and family who are outside the crypto space. :-)
Your steem guide is the perfect ressource for my friends who want to start on the platform. Great explanation, more understandable than my explanations :-)
Great site, looking forward to seeing it grow.
Thank you @critday! We're going to continue tweaking it and adding in new resources. Let us know if there's anything you think is a must-add :)
good informations. thanks for sharing.
It times of crisis nothing like innovative projects to make people believe that there is hope beyond the bear market.
Lots of info to process, but it looks amazing so far.
I am still trying to figure out how to use some of the resources.
Wish you the best guys.
@sandbox so happy to see this lovely project
@SNDBOX, I love teaching and education is my vocation. So glad to see #steem venture this way via @sndbox. I wish I can be a full player and partner in this project. I don't mind being put on a training to ascertain my readiness. I hope I get your favourable reply.
Wonderful project ! :)
