I run a community hackerspace in Fresno, CA called Root Access.

My main focus this year has been – and continues to be – working ways to ensure the space survives the pandemic.

We started making PPE earlier in the pandemic, which resulted in a lot of donations from the community. This came in clutch, and helped us build awareness of the space locally.

We also have another grant-funded project, in collaboration with several other non-profits, to build a network of low-cost air quality monitors in disadvantaged communities across the San Joaquin Valley.

We were hoping to use the funds from SJVAir to build up the space, get some new equipment, and run some cool events, but so far it's all gone to paying rent on a building we haven't been able to use since March.
