The YouthQuest Foundation

The YouthQuest Foundation The YouthQuest Foundation supports the academic, vocational and life-enriching development of America’s youth, particularly at-risk youth.

Co-founded by Lynda Mann and Allen Cage to serve America's at-risk youth, the YouthQuest Foundation was organized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2005. We believe the best way to prepare high school dropouts and those in danger of dropping out is to get them re-engaged in education and help them develop fundamental life skills. We launched our 3D ThinkLink Initiative in 2013. The project, now operatin

g in three states and the District of Columbia, uses 3D design and printing as a vehicle for developing critical thinking and problem solving skills, creativity and self-confidence. YouthQuest is also the prize money sponsor for the annual Step Up Loudoun Youth Competition, which challenges teens in Loudoun County, VA, to create solutions to problems they see in their community.

Of course there's a 3D printing angle to the coronavirus story. When supply chains fail, 3D printing can create solutions. Add this to your social-distancing reading list, wash your hands and take care of each other!

Many have been asking what the implications of the current Covid-19 pandemic are going to be on additive manufacturing as an industry. The relationship between coronavirus and 3D printing is not entirely clear, mostly because we are very far from understanding what the long, medium and even short te...
