THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX. The Dabble Box is a new makerspace at the L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library in Eau Claire. During a recent open house, 10-year-old Ryan Grzyb (top) played a video game with do-it-yourself Play-Doh controllers. The same system can be used to play a virtual piano with bananas (below).
If you’re looking to pick up a new skill, discover a new talent, or dust off a rusty one, then the L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library’s new makerspace, the Dabble Box, has just the tools to help you find your spark and craft up your dreams.
While there are several places in the Chippewa Valley with a do-it-yourself multipurpose programming space, most are found in schools or geared toward manufacturing and come with a cost. With the Dabble Box, folks of all ages get free hands-on learning opportunities where they can explore a number of areas.
Thanks to many generous…
