Overview
GreenShields has lots to do! We have to put the "shield" in GreenShields. To do this, we have to do the research, development, computer drawings and make mechanical models to turn plexiglass into eco-magic. We plan to make a scale model of the shield and test it in a wind tunnel. We will use this model to confirm that our shield makes buses more aerodynamic and will save gas. Today, we all understand the need to save energy and pollute less. We want to use the money that would otherwise be wasted on gas and channel it towards education, especially science and green education. Our goal is to make a small impact with each bus and therefore revolutionize the transportation so central to education worldwide. Also, by having students carry out the project, GreenShields can further inspire the next generation of young great scientists, as they problem solve to make a real difference on this Earth. We're decreasing our carbon footprint, one school bus at a time.
How will the 25K be Used? |
|
| Budget Notes: This amount will produce a single, fully functional "Greenshield." After testing, we will be able to produce and sell them for a fraction of the cost of the model. | |
| $ 1,000 | CAD and mechanical design services |
| $ 500 | rough model mock-ups |
| $ 900 | plexiglass and fasteners |
| $ 1,600 | fabrication of metal frame |
| $ 1,000 | final testing and modification |
