My project went very well. First thing I did was start a model. I didn't like the model, so i trashed it and moved on. I started a poster, hated it, trashed it, and moved on. Bought a trifold, didn't like that, trashed it and moved on. Finally i started a thing in class loved it and used that.

For this genius hour, I didn't do much other than research what product would be best to use. I have many options, and am going to the store to find out which is cheapest. In my opinion, research is just as important as actually working on my effect mitigating project.

PLEASE CLICK READ MORE I believe my pitch went very well. I was prepared, and went a little under the time. I explained all I needed to, and though people had questions, I think that it was just i didn't explain well enough. I think that my technology can really help society, and I'm happy I could share my idea with our class. 

PLEASE CLICK READ MORE  What original technology could you come up with? Have a scarf that you can breathe in, but no dust gets through. I took inspiration for this because some girl's in dust prone areas wear scarfs around their mouths. This can be for many different reasons, but a main one is dust. With regular scarfs, dust can get through. I want to find a way to make a scarf where dust can’t get through. That would mean cutting off oxygen, so there also needs to be a way for the wearer to breath. How could you improve some of the current technologies for your natural disaster (that you previously researched)? Make the scarves thicker, and have them seal in some way and add vents. Is your technology idea feasible/possible? Why or why not? Be specif Yes. I mainly just need a way to make the vent filter air and sand Is your technology idea cost effective (is this affordable)? Why or why not? Be specific in your explanation. Yes. It'll will just be thick fa

Be specif Yes. You need to just find the right fabric. 4. Is your technology idea cost effective (is this affordable)? Why or why not? Be specific in your explanation. It's fashionable and lifesaving.  

NOTICE: PLEASE CLICK "KEEP READING" How does my natural disaster affect people? Mess up agriculture Dust can get in people's eyes and lungs causing diseases. People lose their homes. Not much food Loneliness because people moved away. Not much water http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/interview/dustbowl-witness-glover/ What are ALL of the costs of my natural disaster (human and economic)? Dust storms don’t really kill any people initially, but over a long period of time, health effects can pop up. Farming soil gets ruined Animals die Trees get knocked down Houses get knocked down Erosion http://science.howstuffworks.com/nature/climate-weather/storms/dust-storm5.htm http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/introduction/dustbowl-introduction/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_Bowl Image provided by: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_Bowl
