The Safety Shelf

When it came to thinking of a locker organizer, our group wanted to think of safety. Since school shootings are unfortunately at an all time high, our group decided to come up with the idea of the safety shelf. This would be a locker organizer that also acts as a Kevlar shield to hold out incase of emergency. The locker organizer would collapse into a thick and durable shield. It would also be just the right size to fit in a student's bookbag. So if the student takes everything from their locker, the locker organizer can be easily take as well. It would still have the normal function of a locker organizer but the shelves would be replaced with Kevlar sheets that would be able to stop up to a 9mm bullet (18 sheets). This locker organizer would also be hung on the top hooks of the locker and hang down. This made it easier to take the locker organizer down incase of emergency.

The Safety Shelf is a locker organizer/bullet proof shield. It would be held against the chest and its placed against the chest in order to protect the vital organs like the heart and lungs. It collapses down to make sure it is easily moveable to any part of the body that is exposed at any given time (if you're running you can hold it against your back).
