During natural disasters, delivering essential supplies is a race against time. This challenge becomes even harder when the medications must be kept cold. Although solutions exist for this problem, there are opportunities to develop better ones. In this Innovation Challenge, you will design a solution that makes it easier for emergency responders to deliver medicine and keep it from spoiling.

Design a container that will protect and keep medicine cold at a specific temperature and time. Think of a way to transport in floods.

1. Meet the needs of emergency responders.

2. Be able to be delivered to any location in the affected region.

3. Keep medications cold for the duration of the delivery without freezing them.

4. Hold as much medication as possible while not being too heavy to deliver.

5. Be sturdy enough to prevent the medication containers from being damaged during delivery.

FLOODING EVENT

Due to the Hurricane, a levee has broken and flooding is occurring. Your medical container will need to be waterproof in addition to the specifications stated above.
