This project was about understanding the concept of biomimicry. My chosen animal was a Clam and I studied it's movement, ingestion and excretory cycles as well as it's shape. The end product was a mask storage and decontamination device for everyday homes that reinforces individuals to sanitize their hands as well as facilitate a designated place to store their masks at home. The device uses UVC light LEDs to decontaminate the mask essentially weakening the COVID-19 strain of virus and subsequently causing it to die on the surface of the mask.

I worked on this project entirely from home during the lockdown due to COVID-19 in Singapore- therefore wanted to come up with something appropriate to the times.
