Covid-19 Relief Effort

Recap of our Covid-19 relief effort

The Pandemic

In 2020, we were hit with the COVD-19 Pandemic. This pandemic resulted in unprecedented impacts that affected FIRST and FIRST teams deeply. However, COVID-19 hit hospitals and front-line workers especially hard, so our team wanted to help out. We partnered with one of our mentors, Team 8565 to create and deliver plastic shields and ear guards to doctors, nurses, and first responders at nearby hospitals. We partnered with multiple other teams, as well to create a supply chain-like system. Our job was to 3D print all the components and then transfer it to the teams whose job was to assemble them.

Check the video above for more information! After all of our combined efforts, we were able to distribute over 2,000 face masks and 3,700 ear guards to over 40 different hospitals/clinics.
