Sweecewski teaches a 3D printing course at the school called Inventor's Lab, and his students have been making shields for the last few weeks for EMS crews.
He says thanks to hundreds of dollars in donations from teachers, he was able to buy two new 3D printers and all the materials to make the shields.
The face shields include the company's logo and inspirational messages, which were inscribed by the students.
Sweecewski says a couple dozen more shields will be donated to local hospice centers and nursing homes.
