What We Are Planning To Do

Class

March

Construction

In March our focus will shift to testing. Using our testing mechanism, we will test how our helmet holds up against the competition. By the end of the month, we will have numbers to support that our helmet will reduce the amount of rotational acceleration more than that of the competition.

Class

April

Finalization

In April all of our focus will be aimed towards finalizing our calculations to further support our conclusion. We will put together an argument as to why our helmet should be used in place of others on the market.
