The SAFR Challenge
A Physics Innovation Competition at Grove City College
Sponsored by the Center for Entrepreneurship + Innovation at Grove City College in conjunction with Dr. Shane Brower, Professor of Physics, Grove City College, The SAFR Challenge is an innovation competition that tasks students with developing and building a headband designed to reduce the prevalence of concussions in collegiate soccer players.
Students in Dr. Brower’s SCIC 201: Fundamentals of the Universe class spend time planning, developing, and testing their headbands, in an effort to create the best concussion-preventing headband based on a combination of factors: comfort, appearance, cost, and force reduction. The top seven teams from the class will advance to the finals!
