Our goal is to minimize children's exposure to pesticides therefor reducing illness in organs as well as neurological issues by making a cheap and protective shoe.
User Persona
.. She and her family are from Mexico and moved to Texas.
. All the people on the farm that are farmers are treated unfairly.
. She loves sports
Contact to pesticides either through inhalation or skin contact can cause serious illness and growth defects in children. Pesticide contact has also been linked to neurological disorders like AD-HD.
Overview of Condition
Design Requirements
Our shoe must be able to protect children from skin contact with pesticides while still facilitating use in heat. We also need our shoe to be affordable enough to be replaced as a child grows to ensure even impoverished groups can use them .
