I dedicated a year to researching and presenting my findings on the psychological effects of artificial lighting on students to confirm the hypothesis that students physiologically thrive in school when classroom lighting most closely replicates natural light in color and intensity. 

I compiled an annotated bibliography of my research, presented a proposal slideshow to promote the increase of natural light in classrooms, and hosted a final seminar regarding my findings to inform people and encourage discussion.

An in-depth look at the research done on the effect of lighting on students' psychology. 

The lighting variables assessed include color/hue, brightness, and source (electric, LED, sunlight). 

The psychological factors examined include attention, productivity, heart rate, circadian rhythm, and metabolism.

The sources were evaluated on credibility, usefulness, and quality.
