SciLands members have regular meetings in Second Life where they share ideas, help each other, vote on new memberships, and plan future projects.[4] Members also share resources such as meeting spaces and developers.
SciLands was initially formed around the International Spaceflight Museum and NASA CoLab.[5] Since its establishment, it grew to host a variety of other organizations including government agencies, universities, and museums, but many of these organisations have since left Second Life, so the area has become increasingly fragmented.
