Dextra

We empower communities so no one is left behind. We make prosthetics & we teach communities how to create assistive devices to promote self-reliance.

[Tech Era @techeraafrica]

In our world today, about 90% of people do not have the assistive technologies they need.
One of the ways Tech Era is tackling this problem is increasing the number of assistive tech innovators in Africa through partnership with @3Dextra

As soon as CV-19 struck, @3Dextra co-founder @MidiaHassan responded to the urgent need for #PPE by putting her 3D printing skills to use.

Together with the @uOCEED team at the @uOttawa, Midia has now reached the impressive milestone of making over 10,000 face shields 👏 #TeamQCT

#ThrowbackThursday
We had the best advisors pass through to guide the fellows and assist them with their prototypes while evaluating the potential demand and market more holistically.
Tech Era worked with @3Dextra to establish an assistive technology makerspace in Ghana in 2019

Usually, @3Dextra co-founder @MidiaHassan is busy 3D printing prosthetic limbs for refugees and people in poverty.

Today however, she and the @uOCEED team have refocused to create life-saving PPE for frontline workers and medical equipment for coronavirus sufferers 🌟

It has been a year since my team ⁦@3Dextra⁩ delivered 2 prosthetic hands to Bader in Morocco.

Thanks to @3Dextra we are able to train more college students to impact children and you with hand amputations by providing 3D printed prosthetics. Tech Era trained 15 students from @KNUSTGH for the day of help which provides social and medical support pwds in Kumasi.

Thank you @JumaniMalik for capturing our work in Ghana! 🙏

[Ashesi D:Lab @AshesiDesign]

In the summer, @3Dextra launched a partnership with Tech Era & @AshesiDesign to develop Assistive technology Makerspace @Ashesi. The goal was to develop skills in students to use tech for creating low-cost solutions for people of Ghana, especially the ones with an amputation.

[Derick Omari @DerickOmari]

A few months ago I worked with this incredible team @3Dextra which led to launch one of the first Assistive Technology Makerspace in Ghana (https://t.co/cARdHKXv2J)

Read about our collaboration here: https://t.co/boHKhiUVRu

@TechEra_Gh is going to replicate your efforts.

[Dextra @3Dextra]

Our collaboration in Ghana has been a great learning opportunity for us. We aim to create opportunities, one community at a time.
Our team member, @JumaniMalik has captured this journey in his new blog post: https://t.co/JPnjP8AtZY

What is learning without fun?
Team work and effective communication are some of the important skills needed to foster collaboration in social entrepreneurship. What a better way to grow those skills than a fun interactive activity!

Inspiring talk from @MidiaHassan, who founded @3Dextra to empower refugee communities around the world. Dextra works with refugees to help them learn to design 3D-printed prosthesis and provide them with those assisted technologies
