### **Sandboxes** <a href="#projects" id="projects"></a>

These are our public playgrounds for research and co-creation. Wander through our open Miro boards, explore emerging themes, and feel free to leave your own mark.

<summary><mark style="color:$primary;"><strong>Getting Started with Sandboxes</strong></mark></summary>

#### Welcome!😊

Our sandboxes are public Miro boards facilitated by Open Food Lab for research and co-creation. Here’s a quick guide to help you participate.

#### **1. You'll Need a Miro Account**

To add content, comment, or edit, you'll need a Miro account. It's free and easy to set up.\
[<mark style="color:$success;">Sign up for Miro here</mark>](https://www.miro.com)

#### **2. Understanding Access Levels**

Our sandboxes have two modes of access to balance openness with structure:

* **All Access:** Most of our sandboxes are fully open. Once you enter the board with your Miro account, you have immediate editing rights.
* **Restricted Access:** Some sandboxes are set to view or comment-only by default. To gain full editing rights, you will need to register. A link or instructions for registration will be provided within the specific sandbox.

#### **3. Sandbox Etiquette** <sup>(Our Guidelines)</sup>

These are public spaces for collective exploration. We ask that all participants be mindful and adhere to a few simple guidelines:

* **Be Constructive:** Add to ideas, ask clarifying questions, and build upon the work of others.
* **Be Respectful:** All perspectives are welcome. Engage with curiosity and respect, even when you disagree.
* **Stay Relevant:** Please keep your contributions related to the theme and focus of the specific sandbox.
* **Keep it Tidy:** Please try to organize your contributions (sticky notes, images, etc.) within the designated frames and areas on the board.

Thank you for contributing. We're excited to see what we can co-create together
