Tempicool Blanket
Transcript: The tempicool blanket was invented by Julianna Jones, Rebecca Holden, and John Spears. Julianna is an app designer, Rebecca is a college professor, and John is an electrical engineer. The blanket is made to cool you down when you are sleeping. you would need market surveys, a prototype, packaging, and a marketing plan to further develop the invention. It would take around 5 months and a week to finish the process of making the blanket. The project budget for this invention is $18,000. Materials for Invention: Cloth (one kind) $50 Electrical wire $200 Controller $400 Cooling materials $300 Packaging $500 Total: $2000 Design Team Tempicool Blanket Salaries for Engineers/Designers Photographer for packaging $2000 Engineers $6000 Developers $2000 App $5000 Purpose of Invention Project Budget Materials for Testing: Cloth (different kinds) $200 Electrical Wire $500 Controller $600 Cooling Materials $300 Packaging $50 Packaging (1 month) Finished Product (3 weeks) Total: $15,000 Julianna Jones: app designer Rebecca Holden: college professor John Spears: electrical engineer Invented by: Julianna Jones, Rebecca Holden, and John Spears Tempicool Blanket Step one: Market Surveys (Ex. how big, what kind of material, what features should the app have, should the blanket have dual controls) Step two: Develop the product with the surveys in mind. Get opinions from other engineers (prototype) Step three: Develop packaging (Ex. how big, what should it look like, photographer to take pictures to put on the box) Step four: Marketing Plan (Ex. Where should it be sold? How should it be advertised? Who is the target consumer?) A blanket that cools you down at night when you are sleeping. Turns on when your body or the outside air gets to a certain temperature. The blanket also turns off when it gets to a certain temperature. You can set the temperatures when you want the blanket to turn on or off. You can also get an app for your phone to control the blanket.
