21st century cottage industries: lessons from crowdsourced face shield production

Talk: In this talk, Dr Dunn discusses the phenomenon of crowdsourcing face shield production and how this could inspire new approaches for manufacturing. If it is possible to establish cottage industries for the production of something as critical as face shields for workers in health and social care, what else could we make in this way if we put our minds to it?

Speaker: Dr Katherine Dunn, lecturer in the School of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh, leading the programme ‘Edinburgh Engineering Against Coronavirus’.
