Time is an additional challenge, Chang said, as the group is searching around the world to find and test the best materials possible for the garment. Chang said half the materials involved in the project are from the United States, while the other half are from Asia, particularly China.
The next step on the P3 Award calendar is to prepare their proposal for the National Sustainable Design Expo in Washington, D.C., in April 2010, where second phase grants for up to $75,000 are given to the best student designs, which gives them an opportunity to further these designs, implement them in the field, and move them to the marketplace.
