This helmet is the result of an assignment in which we were tasked with designing and creating prototypes of a wearable item. I chose to focus on the construction industry and aimed to assist workers who spent long hours under the summer sun. I took an industry standard construction helmet and modelled and 3D printed enclosures to fit the helmet on its sides. In these enclosures, I wired fans connected to battery packs and a power switches to assemble a working prototype. I was able to showcase this product in a school-wide design show. This allowed me to gather feedback from individuals who were in the construction industry, and they expressed their interest in the concept.
