I know I want my project to be centred around wildlife preservation as it is something I am very passionate about, which lead me to the idea of creating a water filter for my local creek which is home to the endangered species the platypus. My plan is to foster a safe environment for local species by designing and implementing a structure to filter out microplastics and harmful oils, specifically targeting pollutants affecting platypus. I would love some feedback from professionals who know anything about engineering a water filter or suggestions for sustainable materials I could incorporate.

My project aim is to track brainwaves to monitor how they respond to different genres of music in order to create an app that compiles the data into exclusive playlists based off personal responses. This could be used to help people with mental disorders, create personalised therapies, and help people who are unable to express themselves, such as individuals in a coma. My goal is to use this project to aid people regulate emotions and create a meaningful impact in their lives. I seek feedback on the feasibility of this project and any adaptions which can be made. 

The heart’s  function crucial for our survival yet so briefly studied. I am developing a silicone heart model that circulates liquid using pneumatic pumping and mimics the structure of a real human heart.  I plan to use silicone to create flexible chambers, stainless-steel sheets for one-way valves and silicone tubing to accommodate blood flow. By adjusting flow and pressure, I want to simulate various heart conditions.  I am searching for experts in medical physiology and physical prototyping for feedback on improving my design. My goal is to create an educational tool that raises awareness about heart functions and related issues.
