Students in Bosco Tech\u2019s Integrated Design, Engineering & Art (IDEA) technology program have designed and are producing, via the school\u2019s 3D printers,\u00a0face shields<\/strong>\u00a0for those in the medical field who are potentially exposed to\u00a0COVID-19<\/strong>\u00a0in their work.<\/p>\n

\"Mask-2-1000x700\"<\/p>\n

The talented high school students have already created 10 shields, from senior Alejandro Pina\u2019s own design, and are working to quickly produce several hundred more for the local medical community. Each shield is inscribed with a message of gratitude from the school to the doctor or nurse who will wear it.<\/p>\n

The shortage of protective face coverings was something IDEA Chairman Luis Garza\u2019s family knows firsthand. Mr. Garza\u2019s sister, Dr. Judy Garza, a local doctor, shared her concern for the shortage with him and he, in turn, discussed it with his students. The students, who are currently engaged in distance learning, got right to work.<\/p>\n

\"Mask3-998x699\"<\/p>\n

\u201cOur students wanted to do something,\u201d said Mr. Garza. \u201cThey have advanced skills for high school students and access to rapid prototype technology. It was a natural fit for them to use what they know to help. After Alejandro\u2019s design was refined, his classmate, Maverick Henry, printed and cut the shield components on a CNC router. These kids produced something amazing while working safely and practicing social distancing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Mask-4-1000x700\"<\/p>\n

\u201cAt this time, we\u2019re only limited by the amount of PLA, or polylactic acid we have,\u201d said Mr. Garza of the plastic needed to print the protective gear. \u201cWe\u2019d like to produce many more face shields and are asking alumni and friends to consider donating or sharing supplies.\u201d<\/p>\n
