I finally found time over March Break to make the PC fan-based #CorsiRosenthalBox . I used 8 PC fans with 3D-printed fan grills/mounts (4 on each side) and four 3M filters. This version removed particulate matter from cooking in less than 15 minutes.

My robotics team 1360 Orbit Robotics and I started 2024 by building 10 #CorsiRosenthalBoxes for OHCOW. These boxes are for migrant farmers who live in poorly ventilated indoor spaces. Thank you @3MCanada for donating 24 filters and Equity Builders for the $1,000 cheque.

My grandmother sent me this 2015 article in which she shares her views on air pollution. She may not have thought air filters or masks were necessary back then, but she definitely does now! Also quoted is Josh Apte

Last week I had the pleasure of introducing the #CorsiRosenthalBox to the product development team at Canadian Tire!

For my Grade 10 Visual Arts culminating task we had to use plaster to create a mask and incorporate it into a social issue. I presented a future where people would have to wear masks outdoors because of poor air quality. That future was much closer than I imagined...

A #CorsiRosenthalBox can also help with poor indoor air quality due to #wildfires . Here are the instructions (in English and French) to build one and protect yourself from the harmful effects of PM2.5. If you live in the GTA, I can build one for you at cost.

On Friday, I had the honour of presenting to the grade 7 & 8 students at Roberta Bondar PS about the importance of clean indoor air and how easy it is to make a #CorsiRosenthalBox for their home or school. I hope I inspired them to make a box!
