If you don’t already have your own avatar, membership in Second Life is free. Click the above link to sign up for an account, download the client software, and teleport the SciLands continent.
The SciLands is a mini-continent and user community in the virtual world platform Second Life devoted exclusively to science and technology. There are over 20 science and technology related organizations in the SciLands, including government agencies, universities and museums. SciLands members have regular meetings in Second Life where they share ideas, help each other, and plan future projects. Members also share resources like meeting spaces on their islands. Careful planning, organization, and technical features ensure that SciLands continues to grow.
To get a sim (a private region) in the SciLands, you’ll have to order a sim from the Second Life Land Store (operated by Linden Lab and not associated with the SciLands) and you’ll also have to apply to join the SciLands. To apply to join the SciLands, click the application link below. A representative from SciLands should then contact you to discuss details.
