Empowering Creative Exploration
There are a lot of incredible projects, apps, initiatives and campaigns happening right now within the Steem Universe. In this post, we're going to highlight just a handful with the hope of getting you connected and introduced to some of Steemit's Premier Community Builders.
Real earnest community building is an exciting thing to watch, and it's happening right now. Steemit is still very much in a clay-like state of existence. There's a tremendous amount to be crafted from it - and everyday - Steemians are working to unpack the complexity of Steem; discovering how it relates to them, their discipline and their real life community.
A big part of the 
Hive account@sndbox incubator revolves around the support of creative and experimental projects. Our team helps connect the dots, brainstorm, and "incubate" new ideas. Steemit isn't all about upvotes, it's about cultivating networks that can empower your craft and advance the lifeline of projects in real life. Below, we've highlighted a few projects being developed by Sndbox fellows. We hope you'll consider supporting them and following along!
A Musician's Guide to Steemit
Hive account@musiciansguide (under the wing of 
Hive account@heymattsokol) is currently in the process of raising $2,700 USD for a decentralized, non-profit Steem Marketing project. This Musician's Guide eBook will be a one stop shop for artists to learn more about how to cultivate a following on Steemit while simultaneously empowering their work. The total $2,700 raised will be used to hire an all-star team of Steemit freelancers for the following roles: Project Administrator, Graphic Artist, Cover Artist, Book Designer, Editor. A Phase 2 campaign will take place once the product if finished for promotion and recruitment. Make sure to follow both Hive account@musiciansguide and Hive account@heymattsokol as the project develops!

Whisper Down the Blockchain
From 
Hive account@mrblinddraw comes a new collaborative art project titled; WHISPER. This telephone-style game involves a chain of artistic interpretations. The composition progresses as the original idea (or "seed") is relayed from one artist to the next. Interpretations can be in the form of any artistic genre (painting, animation, architecture, film, music, photography or dance). Curious to learn more? Make sure to follow Hive account@mrblinddraw and SIGN UP for the chance to be a blockchain Whisperer!

SteemPoint: A Sculpture Proposal
Meetups and SteemFests have become a hallmark of our dynamic blockchain community. 
Hive account@paolobeneforti has been hard at work manifesting the Steem spirit into physical form. What better than a real place to connect, engage and kick up a conversation? SteemPoint is a sculptural installation designed both as a hotspot for Steemit.com access as well as real-life public furniture. The project will be based in the city of Pistoia (Italy), where Paolo has been speaking with city officials and potential stakeholders. Make sure to take a look at this project and give Hive account@paolobeneforti feedback as the project advances into real life!

Your Musical Steem and SBD Report
Have you ever wondered what your Steem and SBD actually sounded like? 
Hive account@playitforward has composed a brilliant interpretation of market movement, using candlesticks as musical notes! Taking it a step further, Hive account@playitforward used Steem to hire Ro Rowan (a Los Angeles-based cellist, composer and sound designer) to actually perform the market action through her cello. The result is absolutely breathtaking and a must listen! (Video above.)

Steemit Bootcamp for Underprivileged Kids
Hive account@maverickfoo is a one of a kind educator based in Malaysia. Over the last couple weeks, he's been working around the clock hosting a Steemit Bootcamp program for a Youth Entrepreneurship Program by Accenture.
