We open our space the first Tuesday night of each month for you to join forces with other social impact movers and shakers to make Boston better! You can come jump in on a project, or bring a social impact project of your own.


Come host small events, co-work, network, trade skills and get involved!


At Open Project Night you can:


— Network with local people who share an interest in a better Boston, Cambridge, and beyond. Imagine together, share opportunities to get involved, and trade skills.


— Work on existing local project ideas or come to work on your own (white boards provided, laptops are not).


— Host your event or meeting in one of our meeting spaces (fit 4-6 comfortably), as long as you're open to others joining you!


What kind of projects are we talking about?


— rePurpose Global - A focus group and discussion on reimagining how the world does plastic. Learn more at https://www.repurpose.global.

Mansaraé is a symbol of unity within diversity, and it is Jeneba's Creative Protest for the Unity conciousness. Unity Conciousness is ultimately thinking and acting in ways that unite us to ourselves to nature, to others etc.

— RE2020: What will the real estate industry look like in year 2020? Should RE2020 cohost an unconference spanning the housing, real estate & smart city ecosystem before the Realtors national convention in Boston, 11/2-5/18, or use MIT's uLab to make sense of changes in the real estate ecosystem and turn ideas into prototypes over the next three months?
