        <h2 class="text-2xl font-semibold mb-2">About Me</h2>
        <p class="text-lg">
            I am Wacha Ryan Braston, a 16-year-old student at St. Joseph's S.S.S Naggalama. My 2025 UNEB Science Project, titled "DIY Mini Fan for Affordable Cooling," addresses the challenge of unaffordable cooling systems for rural students while serving as an educational tool for electric circuits.

        <h2 class="text-2xl font-semibold mb-2">Project Overview</h2>
        <p class="text-lg">
            The project, conducted from 17th July 2024 to 13th March 2025, fulfills UNEB’s theme of "Skills and Innovation for Sustainable Living." It involves building a low-cost mini fan using locally available materials, demonstrating electric circuit principles and practical skills.

            <h3 class="text-xl font-semibold">Objectives</h3>
            <ul class="list-disc ml-6">
                <li>Build a working mini fan using local materials.</li>
                <li>Demonstrate electric circuit knowledge.</li>
                <li>Develop skills in cutting, gluing, wiring, and assembly.</li>
                <li>Meet UNEB project standards.</li>
                <li>Mitigate heat effects during the day.</li>
            </ul>
            <h3 class="text-xl font-semibold mt-4">Hypothesis</h3>
            <p>A DC motor powered by a lithium cell through a switch, fitted with a rotor, can function as a low-cost fan, generating airflow.</p>
            <h3 class="text-xl font-semibold mt-4">Results</h3>
            <ul class="list-disc ml-6">
                <li>Produced effective airflow, portable and efficient on low voltage.</li>
                <li>Stable design suitable for cooling or educational use.</li>
            </ul>
            <h3 class="text-xl font-semibold mt-4">Challenges</h3>
            <ul class="list-disc ml-6">
                <li>Limited battery power required higher-capacity cells.</li>
                <li>Initial rotor imbalance needed design adjustments.</li>
                <li>Loose wiring required reattachment for consistent power.</li>
            </ul>

    <section class="mb-6">
        <h2 class="text-2xl font-semibold mb-2">How It Works</h2>
        <p class="text-lg">
            The fan uses a simple circuit: a lithium battery powers a DC motor via a switch. When turned ON, current spins the motor’s rotor, creating airflow. This demonstrates energy conversion from electrical to mechanical.
