Embrace (incubator)

The Embrace incubator was a concept developed by a class called Entrepreneurial Design For Extreme Affordability.[1] It uses Phase Change Material in a sleeping bag design to maintain temperature inside the incubator entirely without electricity, making it well-suited to rural areas. The device can periodically be supplied heat with hot water.[2]

At the Echoing Green competition in 2008, the fellowship award was won by the Embrace development team.[3] [4] Embrace won the 2007-2008 Business Association of Stanford Entrepreneurial Students Social E-Challenge competition grand prize.
