Projects

We have several project that you could be involved with. As more projects develop, we will list them here.

In SF Bay Area

Maker Nexus is coordinating an effort. You can read the projects above and get involved with us. Each project will tell you how to contact our lead for that project. We may also be able to supply you material for the effort; we are sourcing what we can.

Outside the SF Bay Area

If you are not in the Maker Nexus area (SF Bay Area, South) you could start your own effort in your area. Your effort is two pronged: find people and supplies to make stuff; find organizations that need stuff. You don't want to make things and then have no where to deploy them.

Some ideas of places you can contact in your area:

  • The non-profit that supports your local hospital; there is often a foundation
  • A CCRC (continuing care retirement community) near you
  • On NextDoor mention what you are doing and ask for contacts into your local health care system

You should consider how you will organize your local group of volunteers. Maker Nexus uses Slack, it's free to get started. Others use Discord. Others chat by Skype or Zoom every day.
