We hope that you will join us for Google Sandbox, a series designed to bring local tech communities and Googlers together. Attendees will experience Google's technology, development, and engineering principles through tech talks, panels, workshops and access to Google engineers.

Google Sandbox London is open to everyone, but has a dedicated focus on engaging with people of color and other ethnic minorities in the tech community. 

The name "Google Sandbox" is inspired by the software development term "sandbox", an environment for experimentation, testing, and learningGoogle Sandbox will be an opportunity to make new connections, interact with Googlers in authentic, intimate settings, and get a peek behind the curtain at a piece of the Google magic. If you’re interested in a glimpse of what the Sandbox experience is like, visit our highlights page to learn more.
