Southern State Community College Computer Science Professor Josh Montgomery and McClain High School Computer Technology Teacher Nate Luke have formed Southern Ohio Makers Against COVID19 Coalition (SOMACC).
Montgomery, Luke and about a group of 20 educators across Southern Ohio using more than 40 3D printers manufacturing much needed face shields, part of the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requests made by Governor Mike DeWine this week.
Montgomery says they were already on their project over the weekend.
“We need to get a couple if hundred done” said Montgomery. “We already have requests. One hospital wants 200 or as many as we can give them and a few others have asked for hundreds.”
Luke said he was discussing what the public could do to help with his sister-in-law who works for the Highland County Health Department and face shields came to mind. He said when he reached out to Montgomery, he’d already been working on the project.
Anyone wanting to assist the effort can send an email to jmontgomery@sscc.edu.
