COVID-19 Maker Challenge

In 2020, Challenge America teamed up with the Veterans Health Administration Innovation Ecosystem to join the fight against COVID-19. We put on five Maker Challenges focused on addressing the immediate needs of different subsets of the essential workforce - first responders, custodial services, nursing home staff, caregivers, and disaster relief workers. Teams of subject matter experts worked directly with these end users to create innovative products designed to help them cope with the challenges of the pandemic.
