MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR COMMUNITY.

We have teamed up with Maker Mask to give teachers, students and makers everywhere the ability to make a positive impact on their communities by 3D printing respirator masks for those in need. 

As a response to the desperate need for locally sourced PPE, the Maker Mask team has created the first open-source 3D printable mask being used by frontline and essential workers.

PROJECTS AND TUTORIALS.

We've created a series of lesson plans in Further, our online learning space, that will teach you more about 3D printing, and how you can print your own Maker Mask. Printing one mask takes four hours and has the equivalent lifetime use of 300 N95 masks. 

IN CLASS OR AT HOME.

Our lesson plans are easy to follow and can be used in class or at home. They include:

• Understanding what 3D printing is
• Understanding why you would 3D print something
• Cleaning and maintaining the 3D printer and filament materials
• Printing the complete Maker Mask

3D PRINTING INNOVATORS.

In the beginning there were two founders who decided to use 3D printing to prototype their idea for a mobile maker laptop. Although not realizing it at the time, the pi-top founders Jesse Lozano and Ryan Dunwoody created the first 3D printable laptop in 2014, as recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records in 2017. Fast forward to 2020 we have a full ecosystem of kits, software and content to get you making and learning core STEM skills. Join us in learning how you can use this technology to benefit your community and make things you care about.
