Say hello to summer!
For most kids, summer plans include hanging out by the pool, playing video games, and eating all the junk food within reach!
Unless you're ten year-old Bishop Curry, whose spent most of his summer vacations working on helping victims of hot-car deaths. The 5th grader developed a device with hopes of ending tragic heatstroke deaths as the upcoming summer months prove to be the hottest yet.
Scorching temperatures on the rise!
Heatstroke deaths aren't uncommon...
It was only a couple months ago that a Texas couple lost their two children in a hot-car incident. The toddlers had been playing in the car when they locked themselves in, while parents were searching for them within the home.
Temperatures that day had reached almost 100 degrees and it did not take long for the children to become unresponsive.
Bishop Curry, eagerly works to end hot-car deaths!
I made a clay prototype and the invention's name is Oasis!
Bishop Curry
10 yr. old inventor from Texas
Bishop hopes to turn his concept into a reality...
The device is intended to be placed on the backseat headrests of the driver or the child's car seat. Once temperatures within the vehicle reach a peak, a sensor will trigger the device to start blowing cool air. Through an antenna, the device would also alert local authorities and parents to come to the child’s aid.
Bishop already has a 3D model of his invention and has received over $20K in crowdfunding donations to help Bishop complete his journey.

When a baby named Fern died down the street (from a hot car death), I came up with the idea because it was on the news and everything.
