Makerspaces in Jamaica

Four printers. Fifty teams. The math is simple — what those teams can build now is anything but.

The Problem

FTC teams in Jamaica compete without the hardware that wealthier programs take for granted. No 3D printing means no custom parts, no rapid prototyping, no fair fight.

What We Did
  1. 01 Coordinated with Jamaica’s FIRST Program Development Partner.
  2. 02 Financed and shipped 4 3D printers and 16 filaments to designated makerspaces.
  3. 03 Gave 50+ Jamaican FTC teams access to 3D printing for the first time.
  4. 04 Hosted multiple online bootcamps for robot building and CAD.
