Gurpreet also explains why makers are uniquely positioned to activate their Design Thinking, rapid prototyping, and values-based approaches in order to create unique solutions to today’s problems. Tune in to hear more and find out why we’re hopeful that this unified response to COVID can eventually be adapted to solve other global issues.
