High-Level Project Summary
We have came up with a multi-level highway filtration system and car exhaust filtration system. We solve the air pollution injustice by filtering the air from the root cause.This will benefit the air quality of the cities with high level of air pollution, like China and India.Exposure to air pollution can affect everyone's health. Our solution will help to reduce the number of chronic diseases that causes by air pollution found in the citizens.

Detailed Project Description
1. Multi-level highway filtration system - FilNet
It helps to filter the air and gases released by vehicles before they escape into the atmosphere.
We will be installing and attach the filtering net along the multi-level highways as an add-ons to it's existing structure.
This will create something like a "filtering tunnel".
The materials used are the frame taken from washable air filter, and we combine it together with 3 filtering layers that can be found in air-conditional filter.
The maintenance cost is low, thanks to the help of our nature - rain.
When it rains, the water will clear up all the debris and dusts captured in the filtering net, and therefore "reset" the filtering system again.
2. Car exhaust filtration system - FilExhaust
This is a filtration system that can be inserted into the exhaust pipe of the cars.
It has a heat resistant chipset attached where it'll record the amount of carbon dioxide filtered.
This can help to filter out the carbon dioxide in the gases before releasing it to the open air.
We hope to reverse the climate change causes by the air pollution, by solving the root cause of it, which is the carbon dioxide releases by vehicles.
Space Agency Data
The data from United States Environmental Agency helped us understands that air pollution is getting more and more serious, especially the carbon dioxides released by vehicles.
Therefore, we decide to address this issue and come up with the solutions to solve it from the root causes.
Hackathon Journey
It was a fun and interesting event as we can learn new knowledge that is out of our own expertise
Time Management - we use around 38 hours to create a project from scratch. We had learned the important to allocate out time for each task
Think out of the box when come to Problem Solving - Think about the solution that doesn't exist from the internet, and bring our thought to the reality like sketching a 3D modeling
Teamwork - we learn to accept the different in our self and tolerate each other ideas
Logical thinking - we need to come out with workable solution in order to tackle our problem statement
