Hats are commonly worn by people in extreme heat conditions, in a variety of colors and styles. In hot environments with high amounts of incident radiation, people often experience significant thermal discomfort, and conventional wisdom leads many of those people to wear hats to alleviate some of their discomfort. Despite this common practice, the effectiveness of different styles and colors of hats relative to each other has not been thoroughly researched. Hats can have varied impacts on the factors which impact thermal discomfort, including incident radiation, convective heat loss, and evaporative heat loss from sweat. The difference between styles and colors of hats can cause them to have different interactions with these methods of heat transfer, which lead to variance in the total impact on thermal discomfort. This research was conducted in order to create an experimentally justified recommendation for hat selection to limit thermal discomfort in hot and sunny areas.

Description
The following addresses the challenge of effectively connecting mentors with student-run ventures at Arizona State University (ASU). Based on observations and interviews conducted with project sponsor Dr. Byrne and other mentors, the existing informal, referral based approach is inefficient, meaning that potential mentorship opportunities were lost.
To streamline the process, a web platform was developed. This site enables ventures to create structured profiles highlighting concise value propositions and other key indicators, empowering mentors to proactively identify suitable ventures. The technical implementation utilized Next.js for the frontend, Firebase and Firestore for the authentication and storage, and TailwindUI for styling. The result is a user friendly and scalable minimal viable product.
