As engineers, doctors, and everyday citizens tackle urgent problems with repurposed materials and raw ingenuity, the Maker Faire vision is more potent than ever.
Right now, all over the world, people are engaging in the construction of critical supplies and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), respirators, and other clinical items, using tools and techniques such as 3D printing, sewing, repurposing factory equipment, and other skills and ways of thinking.
