Thinking of putting on a mini-mini maker fest/showcase in the Spacelab gym at Lockport this summer. If we did something like that, what would folks want to see/do?

[SpaceLab @1SpaceLab]

We're getting ready to make PPE and sew masks as a partner of @IllinoisPPEorg and the Distributed Fabrication Network, in collaboration with @Lockport_IL Want to lend a hand? Let us know!

[SpaceLab @1SpaceLab]

Can you sew? We're providing machines and materials to folks in the area who can make masks, and will provide space for you to continue the work once we open again. Interested in learning more? Select May/June Slack access on our form here: https://t.co/mqA0cRusAr

Production underway as of last week. If you have either: 1) demand for the things we’ve listed, or 2) capacity to help produce in the south suburbs of Chicago, please reach out.

[SpaceLab @1SpaceLab]

After speaking with medical professional members, we've decided that the need to act is urgent enough for amateurs like us to pitch in. Members and affiliated organizations are now producing protective face shields and N95 mask covers for local partners.
