The Island Sandbox is a member of the Nova Scotia Sandbox community. We provide space for various student groups from Cape Breton University and NSCC Marconi Campus to experiment with new technologies, entrepreneurial ideas and access business mentors and other support. We deliver unique hands-on programming and workshops to assist in professional and personal development. On behalf of myself and the staff of the Island Sandbox, I invite you to join us.

CURRENT PROJECTS
Nova Nourishment is a special project of the Island Sandbox offering our team members the opportunity to learn new skills, test ideas, and make differences in the lives of students in our province. We will be studying the causes and impact of this issue among the student body and ideating and prototyping solutions that will have an impact in our community.
The CBU Design Cube provides an opportunity for students to be introduced to several of the modern creative technologies used in industry around the world. Our Design Cube features laser cutting, 3D modelling, printing and robotics technology which allows students to have a hands on introduction to these future technologies. The cube is mobile and will be featured around the university, staffed by student guides and facilitators.
