SciHackDay project; Temperature reading face mask
2020-Mar-08, Sunday 10:20 pmScience Hack Day 2020 began as has become tradition, with tiny food. Excellent.
Then the introductions, the pitches, the socialising, before settling down to work on projects. I came into SciHackDay with three pre-existing projects to work on. But one brand new one, barely 12 hours old, just for SciHackDay.
With COVID-19 doing the rounds there has been a lot in the media about face mask shortages, of border guards checking people for fever, and of people doxing sick children because of the perception that they deserve to know.
So I wanted to make a face mask, that reads your body temperature, and displays it to the world, while you yourself can't see it, because it's not for your benefit.

Wear with cynicism.
