Nope, that's part of why we're having an open house! But, you can either check out the respective websites at http://thesprouts.org and http://dinospace.org or read on:
From sprout's site: """ sprout is a collective of community scientists united by a passion for playful experimentation and a desire to become better learners, teachers, and doers. We design tools to collect and visualize data and reveal chances for deep engagement with the scientific side of everyday life.
We are working to become better facilitators of our own and each other's learning, with a focus on sharing and documenting the projects we work on and the skills and understanding we acquire.
We want science to be a cultural activity. You can be a waiter from 9-5, jam with your friends at night, and still call yourself a musician. But you can't do the same for science, yet. Through sprout's future educational programs and soon-to-be-public labspace, we want to build a community of everyday experimentalists and open up the resources needed to support independent learning. """
From DINO's site: """ [Our] main focus is to build the community of hackers & makers in Boston and give people the support and knowledge they need to create and share their projects and ideas. We’ve teamed up with sprout, a community science center and open studio focused on making science personal and accessible, and took over the lease on a space close to Davis Square- """
