California students invented a cooling device for firefighters and farmworkers

Students from Calistoga Junior/Senior High School have invented a cooling device for firefighters and farmworkers, targeting hot working conditions.

The device was developed using a $7,500 grant from the InvenTeams initiative and was recognized as a finalist for the SXSW Innovation Awards.

While this invention may have indirect benefits for some seafarers working in hot conditions, the impact is limited and not widespread enough to warrant a higher score.
