PocketLab Science Fair Kit: Preventing Concussions and Head Injuries
Science Fairs are starting soon! If you're looking for a cool project for a Middle School or higher science fair, this PocketLab Concussion kit has you covered. Setting up the kit and collecting data couldn't be easier, you attached the PocketLab to the included styrofoam head and you can test out endless scenarios: football helmets, bicycle helmets, any sports or safety headgear. You can simulate getting hit by a baseball, a football tackle, a cycling accident, or falling, car accidents, and more.
What makes this kit so great is the data you can collect. The idea of attaching a PocketLab to a styrofoam head is deceptively simple, while in actuality you can collect very sophisticated data from 3 axes (x, y, and z) and set up very detailed test cases. You'll be able to get very accurate results, and learn real world lessons about the forces that occur from daily life activities, such as popular sports, or common accidents like falling.
You can be an inventor! There are big companies investing in making sports safer, and you can collect very similar data and try out your own ideas to make a safer sports helmet. The kit includes a PocketLab One for data collection, and detailed instructions on how to interpret data and set up test runs and trials.
