Inspiring talk from Midia S Hassan, who founded Dextra to empower refugee communities around the world. Dextra works with refugees to help them learn to design 3D-printed prosthesis and provide them with those assisted technologies

Thanks for bringing Midia S Hassan to Laurentian University - Université Laurentienne campus to talk #STEM #Entrepreneurship. Great examples of how Universities can foster innovation including the company Dextra she cofounded while a student #BrilliantWomen

What is learning without fun? Team work and effective communication are some of the important skills needed to foster collaboration in social entrepreneurship. What a better way to grow those skills than a fun interactive activity! #3Dextra #socialentrepreneurship #dreamteam

Our collaboration in Ghana has been a great learning opportunity for us. We aim to create opportunities, one community at a time. Our team member, Malik Jumani has captured this journey in his new blog post: bit.ly/Dextra1 #3Dextra #AssistiveTech #globalcollab

Thank you Malik Jumani for capturing our work in Ghana! 🙏

A few months ago I worked with this incredible team Dextra which led to launch one of the first Assistive Technology Makerspace in Ghana (atmakerspace.techera-gh.org) Read about our collaboration here: bit.ly/Dextra1 @TechEra_Gh is going to replicate your efforts.

In the summer, Dextra launched a partnership with Tech Era & Ashesi D:Lab to develop Assistive technology Makerspace Ashesi University. The goal was to develop skills in students to use tech for creating low-cost solutions for people of Ghana, especially the ones with an amputation.

Thanks to Dextra we are able to train more college students to impact children and you with hand amputations by providing 3D printed prosthetics. Tech Era trained 15 students from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology for the day of help which provides social and medical support pwds in Kumasi.

These three #changemakers are the masterminds behind Dextra - an initiative which provides 3D printed prosthetics to refugees and people in poverty in a bid to use technology for social good 🌟 Read more from co-founder Midia Shikh Hassan: queenscommonwealthtrust.org/midia-shikh-ha… #TeamQCT

It has been a year since my team ⁦Dextra⁩ delivered 2 prosthetic hands to Bader in Morocco. We initially sent him 2 prosthetics that did not fit. We failed but we tried again & again till we finally got it right 🙏 check out our story!! #Makers instagram.com/p/B5y4wm7hAs6/…

Usually, Dextra co-founder Midia S Hassan is busy 3D printing prosthetic limbs for refugees and people in poverty. Today however, she and the CEED team have refocused to create life-saving PPE for frontline workers and medical equipment for coronavirus sufferers 🌟 #TeamQCT

#BIWOCinSTEM Spotlight: Meet Midia S Hassan! She manages @uoMakerlaunch and is the cofounder and CEO of @3dextra, where she 3D prints prosthetics. Throughout #COVID19, she also worked with the CEED team to 3D print PPE!

#ThrowbackThursday We had the best advisors pass through to guide the fellows and assist them with their prototypes while evaluating the potential demand and market more holistically. Tech Era worked with Dextra to establish an assistive technology makerspace in Ghana in 2019

As soon as CV-19 struck, Dextra co-founder Midia S Hassan responded to the urgent need for #PPE by putting her 3D printing skills to use. Together with the CEED team at the Université d'Ottawa | University of Ottawa, Midia has now reached the impressive milestone of making over 10,000 face shields 👏 #TeamQCT

In our world today, about 90% of people do not have the assistive technologies they need. One of the ways Tech Era is tackling this problem is increasing the number of assistive tech innovators in Africa through partnership with Dextra Global Disability Innovation Hub 💜 AT2030 💜 GATE #ATChangesLives
