Spud’s Thoughts:

Sometimes you just need a portable prototyping lab – BetaBox is that solution! The thing I like most about this group is the ability to introduce creative thinking into otherwise unremarkable spaces. When you place an innovation lab in the middle of a parking lot or on the sidewalk outside your office, it causes people to think twice about the way they interact with the world around them. Innovation and creativity doesn’t happen in neat pre-designated spaces – it often happens chaotically and where you least expect. BetaBox allows you to have a lab with all your tools in those unsuspecting spaces.
