About This Lesson
Pandemics require many resources, including personal protective equipment (PPE) in order to prevent infection. One type of PPE, face shields, creates a physical barrier between two people to reduce the transfer of a disease through the eyes, nose and mouth. Face shields don’t always properly fit people of all shapes, sizes and ages, especially infants. That is where you as the inventor will use the invention process to solve problems and save lives.
The point of the lesson is to encourage you to think like an inventor, practice the invention process and build empathy.
