Join us tomorrow from 9:10am (14/10) with @abcnewcastle as Dr Hamish chats about all things Sparkhaus and all things SparkVent!
The Campbell SparkVent is a 3D-printed open-source ventilator that was developed for emergency use in the COVID-19 pandemic. Tune in with @kiahandley to hear more about this awesome contribution by a group of Sparky brains!
Thank you again to the Newcastle City Council for helping us help others in need!
