Inspire Me: Danville students draw on robotics team experience to create PPE for East Bay hospital

Just before Easter, while Danville high schools were on spring break, Vikram Gopalan saw a YouTube video about a group in Alabama making face shields using 3D printers.

“Check out this link,” the San Ramon Valley High School (SRVHS) junior immediately texted to some of his classmates. “I think we as a team have the skill set, experience and determination to do something like this for our area. We have the infrastructure to organize this, and it’s the kind of thing FIRST Robotics Competition has been preparing us for.”
