Introducing Our KPP Team
We are a group of 40+ kids in the Greater Boston Area interested in 3D printing. We want to protect the frontline doctors and nurses during this unprecedented time so we 3D are printing NIH-recommended reusable face shields at home and distributing them to local hospitals. Just like adults, we proudly "work" from home during this challenging time- we run our fundraiser, recruit team members, hold weekly kids-only zoom meetings, print face shields, call hospitals, email/interview with TV news anchor and journalists, and perform our own financial analysis.
