Safer football helmet.
For my first project I wanted to create a football helmet that would try and take concussions out of football all together. I looked up older helmets and what worked with those helmets and what didn't. I wanted to help the future generations by making a helmet that can better protect the head from hits that could cause any damage to the brain in the long run. I knew that this had be attempted by many others which is why I had to make mine different so it would stand out more than the rest. The thing that every helmet had but could have improved on was the padding. the padding could have been softer but more efficient than the last helmet but it seemed to stay the same. So what I did was I created a mold that could make little pads that would line the helmet and make it safer. I then took the face mask off of the helmet and took off all of the plastic on the face mask so I could wrap it in leather. I would do this because leather is shock absorbent and it would make football safer. I could not do this because I could not find leather that was thin enough to wrap the whole face mask, so I wrapped a little piece of the helmet for an example of what it would look like.
I wrote poems about times in history the people were "blindsided". All of the poems were haikus and there are three poems per "blindside" in history.
