Addressing food insecurity in arid regions with an open-source evaporative cooling chamber design

A team from MIT D-Lab and Kenyan community partner Solar Freeze celebrate the completion of the first solar-powered iteration of the forced-air evaporative cooling chamber. Using one-quarter of the energy of refrigerated cold rooms and at half the cost to build, the cooling chamber helps smallhold farmers in arid regions preserve and store freshly harvested produce.

PODCAST: Design for a more equitable world with Dr. Ana Pantelic

Bringing safe surgery to patients everywhere

The MIT D-Lab-supported startup SurgiBox has developed a portable kit that doctors can use to create sterile operating environments in low-resource environments. The SurgiBox system includes a bubble with armholes facing inward, a module that filters and controls air flow, and a battery. The entire thing fits inside of a backpack and can be set up in minutes.
