They created the think[box], it's the largest open access market space and innovation center in the United States.Kristy Fann has been using the Case Western Reserve Sears Think[box] since 2012. She spends a lot of her days working with the pros to finish up all the pieces that she has collected over time.
The think[box] was launched in 2012 as a seven-story innovation building. It provides an open-access maker space for Case Western Reserve students and community members like Fann. The latest addition is their brand-new community floor. It will serve innovators, inventors, and entrepreneurs. Inside includes an auditorium, an exhibition area for art, and two activity rooms.
The goal is to continue to open those doors to community users and provide a space for prototyping and fabrication equipment, space to brainstorm, referrals for legal and business support to commercialize intellectual property, and staff to provide guidance throughout the building.
