Sears think[box]

The largest open-access makerspace at any university in the country, Sears think[box] is where our students, from all majors, ideate, prototype and launch successful businesses. With seven floors of resources, $37 million raised (and counting) by entrepreneurs who use our makerspace, and over $2 million in equipment throughout our facility, there’s a reason Sears think[box] is the #1 cited facility by university researchers and a destination for 70,000 visitors per year

Check out think[box.
