Q3: Include specific outcomes (end result) for this grant.

  • Onboard 100 African women into The Sandbox Ecosystem.
  • Drive adoption of VoxEdit, Game Maker & LAND features:

We will drive adoption by hosting hands-on training sessions where participants will learn how to create assets using VoxEdit, how to build interactive experiences with Game Maker, and understand how to use and potentially monetize LAND, with strong emphasis on learning the tools and fostering community engagement as key drivers of sustained participation. Each participant will complete guided tasks monitored through facilitator checklists and support.

  • Enable beginner-to-builder pathways for women creators:

This will be done through the structured 4-week learning track starting with beginner-level education via Twitter Spaces, followed by a hybrid workshop. The goal is to take women from zero knowledge to building something meaningful within the ecosystem like a story-based community piece.

We’re focusing on African women, especially from Nigeria and Kenya, to bring more geographic and gender diversity into The Sandbox creator community.
