Re-NABLE | NY, USA
Have your community activities changed during the last several months?
Please summarize your efforts
The @Rochester Enable Lab (Re-NABLE))) is located at the Vertus High School. As the Covid era began, @Melvin Cruz embarked to Costa Rica, the school closed, and @Skip Meetze, @Jon Schull, @Ben Rubin, @Kyle Reeser, @Andrea Santiago Boyd and our student interns all went home. Working from home, Skip, Jon, Kyle and Ben have joined forces with @James Whitlock and several other e-NABLE volunteers in Buffalo. @Jeremy Simon in Illinois joined as well to contribute to work on the Buffalo/e-NABLE Mask. Fifty meetings in, the collaboration has produced a first design, and a website (BEmask.org). The work continues.
