address theproblem of premature infant mortality in the developing world. Students look at why the infant mortalityrates are much lower in developed countries, even if the premature birth rate is similar, such as betweenthe US and sub-Saharan Africa. They discover that access to infant incubators might help address thisproblem in the developing world, but that access to electricity is a limiting factor. They then set out todesign an infant incubator using chemical reactions to provide the heat. They learn about chemicalreactions, insolating and conducting materials, and phase change materials to regulate the heat in anorganic way as they address problems that arise while designing their incubator.
