Manylabs is a collaborative space for independent researchers, engineers, educators, and makers who are working on scientific projects that address real-world problems through civic engagement, education and/or the development of low-cost tools. By bringing together individuals with a diversity of skills, expertise and perspectives, Manylabs aims to create space for productive and creative collaboration that spans the areas of science, education, and conservation. The Foundation began supporting Manylabs in 2014 with an interest in exploring new ways of supporting innovation in science by broadening participation and encouraging rapid-prototyping and unique partnerships. Beyond hosting residents, Manylabs also serves as a space for engaging with the broader Bay Area community, and hosts meetings, workshops, and hackathons that bring together individuals from academia, industry, and the open science and maker communities.
