PLTW teacher Brian Clifton has delivered about 500 ear savers to hospitals throughout the northeast.

Educators in Appoquinimink School District's Project Lead the Way engineering program are using 3D printers to make face shields, which they have donated to several hospitals as well as Chimes Delaware, a community service provider for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. What started as an effort for family members and acquaintances has since grown into an operation that has created hundreds of masks and received orders from medical facilities including Christiana Hospital and Middletown Emergency Department.
