THE IDEA LAB - WHEN THE CURRENT PANDEMIC FIRST ARRIVED IN FORCE, IT COLLAPSED THE SUPPLY CHAIN FOR PPE AND OTHER MEDICAL SUPPLIES. IN AN EFFORT TO ALLEVIATE THE STRUGGLE, THE IDEA LAB ENGAGED IN A STRENUOUS EFFORT TO PRODUCE PPE AND DONATE IT TO LOCAL HOSPITALS, FIRST RESPONDERS, AND AT-RISK INDIVIDUALS. PRIMARILY WE PRODUCED REUSABLE FACE SHIELDS AND PLEAT JIGS TO AID IN THE MANUFACTURE OF CLOTH FACE MASKS. WITH THE HELP OF AN EAGER NETWORK OF VOLUNTEERS AND FUNDING THROUGH DONATIONS FROM INDIVIDUALS, BUSINESSES, AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS, MORE THAN 40,000 FACE SHIELDS WERE PRODUCED, INCLUDING 30,000 HIGH-QUALITY INJECTION-MOLDED FACE SHIELDS MADE IN COOPERATION WITH THE POLYFLEX COMPANY. AT THIS TIME, OUR EFFORTS TO PRODUCE FACE SHIELDS CONTINUE, THOUGH TO A LESSER DEGREE AS NATIONAL SUPPLY CHAINS HAVE REGAINED A FOOTHOLD AND HOSPITALS AND FIRST RESPONDERS ARE AGAIN ABLE TO SECURE PPE THROUGH THE USUAL CHANNELS. OUR LATEST ACTIVITY IN THIS ENDEAVOR WAS A SHIPMENT OF 1,000 FACE SHIELDS SENT, BY REQUEST, TO A NAVAJO RESERVATION IN ARIZONA.
