Remember to also thank the homeschool teachers!

This Teacher Appreciation Week, we celebrate educators for their unwavering dedication and commitment to inspiring young minds. Throughout the past few months, teachers have had to confront the abrupt transition to remote learning, and we are in awe of the outpouring of creativity and care from these educators in the face of such a challenge. Please join us this week in celebrating the amazing teachers who prepare our students for successful and happy lives.

Starting on Wednesday (May 6), we will share spotlights on some outstanding FIRST educators who have made incredible impacts on their students and communities. Be sure to take a moment to thank a teacher who made a difference in your life this week.

Winning During COVID So, winning a major award at just about any other time would come with a different set of emotions. Winning during COVID is like holding our breath all over again. The news, alerts and aid during COVID of course takes complete precedence. But, you know, we geeks really can’t w...

Anyone who can get to their printer or sewing machine (there are similar calls for homemade masks), join us in doing what you can to help your local community.

URGENT: CALLING ALL MAKERS! Open Works has been contacted by several Baltimore-area hospitals in the last 48 hours requesting help making protective equipment for health workers. We are organizing a call with procurement officers and health department officials this weekend to assess demand.
