Kevin Ngo, a father living in Silicon Valley, has, thanks to Artec's digitalization solutions, developed the Flo Mask project. An application aimed at protecting children from 4 to 12 years old from viruses and air pollution.

Practicing at home and talking as a family about why it matters help kids learn to mask, according to local dad Kevin Ngo, who developed a filter mask with help from his family.
Careful, compliant mask wearing has proven hard for adult Americans to pull off – so it can’t help seeming like an ominous obstacle for families and educators contemplating a return to classrooms, activities and, someday, summer camps. But local program directors have been testing how to reopen small camp sessions since last June, and they, like local school districts testing the water with limited in-person attendance, have learned a lot about the capacity of kids to do better than we imagined.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ A Silicon Valley father of three and award winning product developer has spent the past two years creating the world s best face mask for kids. Kevin Ngo, founder of Air Flo Labs, is now shipping his patent pending solution, Flo Mask.
Flo Mask filters have been Nelson Labs tested to block over 99.8% of viruses and are designed to fit kids 4-12 years old. The idea for Flo Mask came about during the Northern California Camp Fire wildfire in 2018. My kids were coming home from school feeling sick from the toxic smoke that blanketed the Bay Area. It was then that I learned N95 grade masks for kids didn t exist, says the inventor dad. I was in disbelief that in an age of quantum computing, we still didn t have masks that could truly protect kids. Then COVID-19 hit and I knew the world needed Flo Mask more than ever.
