	Watching the world being consumed by a global pandemic is overwhelming. Many of us who self-identify as makers feel the reflexive need to ''do something'' to help fix the problem. Individually, trying to figure out what to do seems impossible, yet by working with others, combining our skills and resources, it begins to feel as if we ~~truly can help~~. This reaction has gained momentum, becoming a virtual global hackathon. On hearing that hospitals and other health providers are running out of respirators, face shields, and other personal protective equipment (PPE) makers around the world started working to design and build alternate solutions to the problem.

	Dale Dougherty, publisher of Make Magazine coined the phrase "Plan C" to describe this phenomenon [https://makezine.com/2020/03/22/whats-plan-c-for-covid-19/ in a Make Magazine article] cowritten by Dougherty and Victor W. Hwang. Plan A is the expectation that governments will solve the crisis. Plan B would be Industry stepping up to supply necessary materials. WHen both of those fail, Plan C is the Community recognizing the need and mobilizing to do whatever they can to help.

From that larger list, a few are higghlighted below:

	Currently NoM has designs for face shields, handmade masks, safety goggles, and a validated gown design. They are currently working with their partners to create validated designs for booties, head coverings, and other critical PPE.
