Final two SPRITE+ sandpit projects announced

Final two SPRITE+ sandpit projects announced

In July we welcomed 35 participants from 25 different different organisations to our online sandpit focussed on the theme of 'digital vulnerabilities'. Participants were selected from a range of career stages and research expertise, including technical, scientific, and social science disciplines.

Over the course of five sessions spread over three weeks, nine project teams were created, with five securing funding as judged by the Panel.

We are delighted to announce the final two of the five funded projects are:

'Revealing Young Learners’ Mental Models of Online Sludge'
'Footprints to emissions: Exploring near-future digital vulnerabilities with creative methodologies'
