| Challenge: | Innovation | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | East Parry Sound | | City: | South River , ON, South River, ON | | School: | Land of Lakes Senior P.S. | | Abstract: | While working out there is always a problem that occurs with getting too warm and perspiring. This can lead to discomfort and loss of interest in continuing. Since we are both very involved in sports we wondered if it would be possible for us to innovate a T-shirt that would help maintain a comfortable external body temperature while participating in physical activity. |
