I taught a workshop on making electronics responsibly.

With the help of Prototype PGH I taught a workshop on the history of nanofabrication with a particular focus on the multi-ethnic majority female workforce who faced a simultaneous lack of safety in the workplace and dearth of information about the chemical processes they were expected to carryout.

Here is a resource list that I used to prepare the workshop:
