Write 3 elevator speeches about your project: 

• For a professor/advisor
  • Did you know that air quality in some parts of the world is so bad that you can see the particulate matter with your naked eye? We are part of an impact fellowship to help mitigate the effects that the poor air quality has on health. Our current goals right now are to collect data on how air quality affects cognitive ability and to build cost effective air monitors and filters. We would appreciate it if you shared your opinion and expertise with us and if you have any thoughts on further action we should take. 
• For an interviewer for a summer internship 
  • Through the Office of Creative Inquiry at Lehigh University, I am in a Global Social Impact Fellowship. My project is to help mitigate the effects that poor air quality in Almaty, Kazakhstan has on human health. My team consists of 4 other Lehigh students, a faculty advisor, and students from Almaty Management University. We are working together to build air monitors and filters and to collect data about the effects that air quality has on cognitive ability. This fellowship has taught me so much already about how to work with a team of people from diverse backgrounds and has made me feel prepared for this internship.
• For a roommate asking about your project
  • My project is working to help educate the citizens in Almaty, Kazakhstan about the effects of poor air quality on their health. We’re building air monitors and filters and conducting tests on them to see the different amounts of particulate matter in the air. We are also working with Almaty Management University to gather and analyze the effects that air quality has on cognitive ability. Follow our Instagram @aqalehigh to see updates about our project!
