Go Leyla go!
This is absolutely an equity issue & @ChiPubSchools is actively hurting student learning in the name of privacy. Hundreds of thousands of students are impacted. You should be mad. ‘Overkill’ – In CPS, student protection act hinders teachers, curriculum lanetechchampion.org/?p=1140…

@LaneTechCompSci - Freshman LTACer looking over electives for next year and beyond: "This is tough - too many choices" Has his eye on the AI and Bot programming classes. I couldn't be happier. Thanks for having such a great program with amazing teachers! #TeachersFTW

Got a 2.4 GPA my first semester in college. Thought maybe I wasn’t cut out for engineering. Today I’ve landed two spacecraft on Mars, and am now designing one for the Moon. STEM is hard for everyone. Grades ultimately aren’t what matter. Curiosity and perseverance matter.

We just made our first delivery to Illinois PPE yesterday! More to come on this amazing effort.

Version 6 published! I made all requested changes by the doctors. Files with details are all live on the site. In summary, it’s shorter, wider, extra tabs removed, two forehead and bottom bar settings, and I made it all fit a 18”x12” laser bed for @glowforge and other users :)
Ok! Here is my flatpack, 5-piece, ~2min lasercut, fully adjustable, single material (no elastic needed), sterilizable face shield that’s easy to ship & assembles quickly. Still iterating (always). Site has details, instructions, and video demo. bit.ly/solinflatpack. #COVID19

An update on the the Illinois PPE network I’ve been working on: we can now make 6,500 shields/day, have delivered to 44 hospitals, raised $10,000, written 2 grants to continue making the shields free for all, and have hundreds of makers contributing.
