About This Project
For years, makeshift heating solutions for homeless individuals have involved burning unsafe materials like grease, garbage, or wood, posing both fire hazards and health risks from toxic fumes. Our project aims to enhance a low-cost, tent-safe heater first developed by an initiative called Heater Bloc. We'll address design flaws and create a website for users to share insights and solutions. We also plan to put our research into action by producing 300 heaters for distribution.
