Out of all the projects presented in the 10am section I think these
ladies did a project that had actual gadgets other than just a website or an
app which they also had. When they first began to present I had no idea where
they were going but after watching that sad video of the child being left in
the car I kind of began to imagine that they would make a gadget to fix that
problem. I also hear of one or two stories a summer of a baby dying from being
left in a car during the extremely hot summer days. Although their statistics
only showed there to be 37 infant death a year from being left in a trapped car
and that number might not seem like much I still think it’s a lot of children. The
gadget/ device that they created to but on the car seat was very ingenious I do
not think I could have ever come up with something so creative. I like that it
detected body heat, but also if it was already really hot in the car how would
they get it from ringing on the mom’s/dad’s if there was no child in the car
seat but it was hot so the device detected heat and sounded off the alarm?
“90% of families are affected by a child wandering off” this is a HUGE
number!! I personally work with children almost everyday as a babysitter and I can
agree with this statement from year of babysitting the kids I have babysat have
at one point or another wandered off and not because I did something wrong, but
simply because kids are quick and small and can sometimes be unnoticed. I myself
wandered off from my mom when I was a toddler and of course she almost had a
heart attack when she couldn’t find me. I think that id she would have had one
of these bracelets on me as a kid then she would have been a little more at
peace if I had wandered off. I know for sure that as a babysitter having a gadget
like this would change everything and it would allow me to have a piece of
mind.
