Sioux Lookout Blooms in Time for Summer

When a crew of regular High School Students left to grab some dinner & then came back with it, I knew they had settled into the Lounge! They often organize their own social every Wednesday, inviting different people over & showing first timers around with a sense of pride in “their Space”.  They throw on their own tunes, duke it out in Smash bros, play the uke, enjoy some VR, GarageBand & Digital Art, and recently the 3D Printer!  They are a very social and friendly crew, who always include others in the room in their tournaments, even the 11-13 year olds, leaving me with a warm fuzzy heart. I love hearing the laughter fill up the place. These guys fill the Space with enthusiasm, which often lures curious bystanders into the Digital “web”!  And that is only one example of how Digital Creator is making an impact in Sioux Lookout!
