Grade 12 student devises alarm to save kids left in cars



Every summer we hear tragic stories about small children forgotten in cars. Seventeen-year-old Alissa Chavez has designed "The Hot Seat" a car-seat device that alerts parents when they've left a child in the car. The system sounds an alarm on the car, on a key fob and on an app when the parent is 10 metres away from the car but there is still a child inside.
Alissa has an Indiegogo project and will use the funds raised there to build a prototype and hopefully start manufacturing the device soon.
