A team of young tech innovators comprised of engineers, product developers, and designers in separate rooms is working to make sure that they hit the target of producing urgently needed face shields.
In the room next to the entrance of the facility, individuals seated on their computers are busy designing face shields, while in the following room, others are cutting materials that will be used to make face shields using laser machines.
Barely a month ago, has a team of Rwandan technology innovators at FabLab Rwanda prototyped what was the first face shield to be made locally.
FabLab has joined global efforts to produce these PPE and Bizimana says they are able to produce at least 500 face shields per day or even go beyond depending on the demand.
The full-face shield being produced by FabLab perfectly curves around the face.
