Maura Keyes, our Systems Design Lead, developed the idea for the Climate ConStroller as a way to protect her baby niece from the cold weather of Alaska. Keyes’ sister is a young mother living in northern Alaska and she has to walk 10 minutes to and from work each day because her family only owns one car. She brings her baby to work with her everyday, meaning she has to expose her baby to harsh cold that could range anywhere from 0 [degrees F] to -40 [degrees F]. Infants and young children are more sensitive to fluctuations in temperature because of lower heat and cold tolerances. Keyes envisions a stroller that could be safer, not only for her niece, but for children with outdoor lifestyles in extreme environments.The design of the stroller will be able to heat the baby carriage space in cold weather environments. The team will work with Dr. Hanzlik, a city mother with a background in both mechanical and biomedical engineering, to identify and define customer needs. |
