Football players get concussions when they receive too much head trauma and their gear and equipment don't protect them so much. With the new tech that we have we can help prevent football injuries especially concussions.

We are trying to help prevent sport injuries by using technology. We are also trying to come up with different types of tech that could help our football players from getting injured.
THEME:HOW THE WORLD WORKS
Central idea:scientific and technological knowledge and its impact on society,environment, earth.
KEY CONCEPTS
- Change
- Reflection
- Function
WHY ARE CONCUSSIONS BARELY BECOMING AN ISSUE?
Because we are noticing that more and more players are getting injured and having concussions
How does their equipment fail?
They do not have enough protection to protect them from a concussion.
WHAT IS A CONCUSSION?

We can prevent concussions and injuries by creating new high tech foam helmets. We can also make new safety equipment that could prevent concussions and injuries from happening.

- Helmets
- Shoulder pads
- Face mask
- Football shoes

Now football helmets are made out of plastic,foam,and sensors.
We also think that the NFL should start using shock box. Shock box is a helmet sensor that you attach to a helmet and data is sent to a smartphone or tablet.
We think football players should start using exoskeletons to protect their spinal cord so the exo takes most of the impact. They should also start using new and stronger pads.
The main function of a powered exoskeleton is to assist the wearer by boosting their strength and endurance,but it can also be used In football and help reduce concussions.
