Abstract: A headwear with an integrated cooling fan is an apparatus that provides cooling relief and shade while preserving a clear view of the surroundings for a user. The apparatus includes a headwear body, at least one centrifugal fan, a microcontroller, and a portable power source. The headwear body is preferably a hat such as a baseball cap or a shade hat and includes a head-bracing portion and a flat protrusion. The at least one centrifugal fan includes inlet and an outlet in order to push air towards the face. The at least one centrifugal fan is mounted onto a second face of the flat protrusion. The at least one centrifugal fan occupies minimal space underneath the flat protrusion. The microcontroller manages the functions of the at least one centrifugal fan. The portable power source provides the necessary power to the at least one centrifugal fan and the microcontroller.
