DOTS – Dreams of Time and Space

We work with the most imaginative human problem solvers to create digital dream machines that catch dreams.

We then improve dreams we find by hacking, tinkering, remixing and fixing them before zapping the dreams back into the minds of dreamers who need our help. We are currently setting up maker-spaces in schools throughout the world, so that new classes of creative young people can help us complete our important missions

It costs absolutely nothing to join our team and we provide lots of FREE RESOURCES to help you get started on your first mission.
