We're all in this together: how tabletop 3-D printers are being used to help medical personnel in our community

April 15, 2020

How can 3-D printers help medical personnel in our community who are on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic? Renee Powell, winner of the 2019 ORAU Extreme Classroom Makeover, and members of ORAU's K-12 STEM education team are using 3-D printers to produce personal protective equipment components, like N95 masks, ear guards for disposable masks and face shields. Powell and ORAU's Kayla Canario share what led to their decisions to offer help in this important way. Join hosts Michael Holtz and Jenna Harpenau for a fun and inspiring conversation.
