About us
We are Fox.Build a new CoWorking, Hacking, Maker-Space in downtown St. Charles IL. Located at 11 E. Main Street, St Charles IL 60174.
We have large spaces for designing, building and launching your entrepreneurial future. Founded by two software guys and long-time entrepreneurs, we basically got sick of working out of our houses and wanted to meet other people. In the process we bought some machines we always wanted an excuse to buy such as an X-Carve from Inventables. This CNC machine can make some cool stuff. Come on out and build something with us or bring your laptop and freelance work and spend the day.

Claude AI for Everyone: From Beginners to Experienced Users
Most professionals using AI are using it wrong, and using the wrong one.
Claude (from Anthropic) is quietly becoming the tool serious
professionals trust for real work. It's not ChatGPT. And most people
have never actually sat down with it.
Saturday September 26th, I'm running a hands-on, 3-hour workshop in
Glen Ellyn to fix that.
There is no coding at any point. If you can open a folder, you can do this.
Bring your laptop. You'll point Claude at a folder of your own real
work documents and get useful work back out of it, not a demo, not
theory. You'll walk out with Claude set up and customized for your
specific role.
Price: $49. Twelve seats. Click here to register!
Running a team? I also deliver this as a private on-site, so reply or DM.
Claude Cowork is the newer way of working with Claude: instead of
pasting text into a chat box one piece at a time, you give it a folder
and work alongside it. We'll set it up together, connect it to real
documents, and run it against the kind of task you'd otherwise spend
an afternoon on. You'll see where it's genuinely good, and where it
still needs you watching it.
