HUGE, AWESOME and HEARTFELT thanks to Taylor Box for joining as a sponsor for our upcoming (and sold out!) Digital Meets Physical Hardware Hackathon on January 28 and 29. Their generosity will create an even better experience for the makers, hackers, DIY industrialists, designers and basement builders who are coming together this weekend to demonstrate their skills turning raw material and blind ambition into something special.
Taylor Box is an award winning custom box and packaging manufacturer with more than 100 years of experience in custom packaging. The company is a world class example of innovation in advanced manufacturing, demonstrating time and again a proven ability to evolve and innovate alongside--and often ahead of--the industry and their customers.
Why'd they do it? From start-ups and family shops to global companies that serve international markets, Rhode Island has a proud history as a place where makers and builders drive economic growth. Betaspring believes that physical technologies will drive the next wave of local and national economic recovery. In addition to running a dedicated track to accelerate and launch physical technology companies, Betaspring is committed to showcasing Rhode Island's position as a great place to grow physical technology-based ventures.
And, as it turns out...Taylor Box believes this too. The team at Taylor Box and CEO Dan Shedd (who does double duty as a Betaspring mentor) are super supportive of Betaspring and the maker movement, and we are grateful for the support.
No surprise that Taylor Box Company has won almost every national and international awards in almost every rigid packaging category in the last two decades. They make AWESOME stuff, with cool tools, with passion. Holla!
Taylor Box is not alone. The Hackathon would not be possiblewithout our technology partners who are supplying tools and toys for the event. Big shout out to Netduino, KippKitts, and GreenGoose for the tech supplies and to AS220 Labs, which has made its incredible fabrication tools available to participants.
