The battle against COVID-19 is a worldwide challenge unlike any in living memory. The Georgia Tech community has joined the fight, contributing our expertise, innovation, and indomitable spirit to the effort. Even as we remain committed to serving our students, faculty, and staff, we have accelerated our advancement of technology in response to our world's new reality. In fact, our work has deepened the understanding of Covid-19’s trajectory, the risks associated with gatherings, Covid-19's impact on the economy, and helped to save lives and improve health outcomes locally around the world.

The Institute’s efforts resulted in the production of more than 1.8 million pieces of personal protective equipment, 7,000 gallons of redesigned hand sanitizer, most of which was delivered to healthcare workers. We provided free designs and instructions for make-at-home face shields and face masks, helped design low-cost emergency ventilators, and partnered to design barrier protection devices for medical staff.

We are all about the solutions. Together, we can do this.
