The filtering parts of the masks were fine, but the elastic and other structural parts were worn out. So Bull and a few students used 3D printers to make molds in which silicon mask parts could be cast. The silicon serves as a sort of scaffolding to which filter material from old masks can be attached, turning a previously useless mask into a useful one. “I’m excited to see what the monitors in training can come up with in terms of new ways to engage with tools and host workshops after this semester,” Baek added. The BDW runs skill-based workshops for students, which are offered on a first-come first-serve basis with no registration required. According to Baek, workshops range “from more standard ones like sewing and woodworking to advanced classes like,” computer numerical control.
