A project during the pandemic leads to bigger things for an Arcadia teen.
Weber Lin first spoke with NBCLA in April 2020 as he launched the small project from his bedroom while attending remote classes away from the classroom.
“After we talked, I kept making masks for a few months,” recalled Lin, who ultimately made over 3,100 pieces of PPE. “I expanded to face shields and ear savers. But eventually once the supply chain issues were resolved, there wasn’t a need for 3D masks.” Fast-forward to 2023, the 18-year-old said the PPE project propelled him to dream big and prepared him for the future: after graduating from Arcadia High as the valedictorian, the teen is set to attend Stanford University in the fall of 2023.“The mask project I started three years ago turned into something more and given me an interest in something I might want to do for the rest of my life.”
