Funk Box goes live! - our little Funk Box is leaving the nest! Designed for and in collaboration with The Funk Center in Dayton, Ohio, the Funk Box is a highly mobile travelling interactive experience for children and families. Using three gesture-based touchless sensors, the Funk Box allows kids to create funky music with a swipe of the hand as well as a short history presentation on the evolution of Funk music and its unique connection to Dayton and Ohio. In the coming months and years, the Funk Box will hit the road and bring joy to children and their families all over Ohio and maybe even the world! 🤗 More photos coming soon! A special thanks to everyone who helped make this possible!
