Bishop Curry is thinking outside the box when it comes to his invention. His device will help prevent babies from dying in hot cars. This 10-year-old is blowing us away with his creation.
When we hear of stories of babies dying in cars because parents or caregivers straight up forgot them in cars or they are terrible parents.
Curry learned that his 6-month-old neighbor had passed away due to an overheated car and that sparked an idea in him.
“It kind of came in my head,” Bishop told HuffPost of his device, the Oasis.
The Oasis sounds like the device that may help us after all. Since we’re a society that runs on alarms and sounds, this gadget will do that.
The Oasis would respond to rising temperatures by emitting cool air and use an antenna to signal parents and authorities. At the moment, Bishop only has a 3-D clay model of the device, but his father, Bishop Curry IV, began a GoFundMe campaign for the Oasis in January.
“I got lots of help from my parents,” Bishop said.
Attorneys advised the family that the minimum amount they’d need for prototyping and manufacturing fees, as well as a patent for the device, is $20,000.
The GoFundMe is treating young Curry quite well since it has exceeded the $20,000 goal.
The GoFundMe campaign has already exceeded that $20,000 goal and, as of Monday, has raised over $23,700. Bishop, who will begin sixth grade in the fall, told Fox News last week that in addition to his parents, his classmates and friends are fully behind him on his projects.
Curry is setting the bar high when it comes to standards of safety. We truly hope to see this device on the market.
