EXTREME BY DESIGN follows Stanford business, engineering and medical students as they work in teams, using design thinking methods, to develop products and services that serve the needs of the world's poor. One student team works on a breathing device to keep babies alive in Bangladesh. Another seeks a way to store drinking water in Indonesia. The third team project is to design an IV medicine infusion pump.

It's all part of the Design for Extreme Affordability course inspired and launched by the Stanford d.school. The film begins on the first day of the course and ends eight months later as one group of students returns to Asia to test their device amid plans to launch a startup.

At a time of unprecedented global challenges EXTREME BY DESIGN shows the power of human-centered design in creating innovative, effective and sustainable solutions to the complex problems facing us.

'Truly inspiring! This film vividly illustrates the power of experiential learning and entrepreneurial spirit. It demonstrates the messy and unpredictable path to breakthrough ideas, and shows a powerful way to prepare young people to tackle real world problems.' Dr. Tina Seelig, Professor of the Practice, Stanford School of Engineering, Author of inGenius: A Crash Course on Creativity

'Design is always complex and challenging; it should be fun and rewarding. Extreme by Design shows most of the qualities that young designers, engineers and managers should learn. They need to be human-centered, goal-driven, creative, persistent and deliver something that works, and this film shows these requirements and provides concrete examples. Human-Centered Design is a matter of technology, organizations and people, and the film should be presented to students to encourage their creativity, motivation and enthusiasm. This kind of emerging competence is needed in the twenty-first century. I will certainly use Extreme By Design with my students.' Dr. Guy Andre Boy, Director and Professor of Human-Centered Design Institute at Florida Institute of Technology, Fellow of the Air and Space Academy, Author of Orchestrating Human-Centered Design

'The clock is ticking - 72 hours, 8 days, 10 weeks - and the problems seem overwhelming. Under extreme pressures, but with strong networks of support, Stanford graduate students from many different fields work on affordable solutions to the life and death problems of the world's poorest peoples. As they learn design, they readjust their values and their life goals. Riveting.' James Rodger Fleming, Chair and Professor of Science, Technology, and Society Program, Colby College, Author, Fixing the Sky: The Checkered History of Weather and Climate Control

'Outstanding examples of creative collaborations to design culturally and environmentally sensitive inventions and ways to continuously test and improve them. I am deeply impressed. What a fantastic way to learn and contribute to the world.' Dr. John D. Bransford, Shauna C. Larson Professor of the Learning Sciences, University of Washington at Seattle, Co-author of How People Learn and Preparing Teachers for a Changing World

'This documentary follows the aspiring engineers and innovators and beautifully captures the excitement, motivations, and frustrations as well as the successes and failures of the different teams. The teams struggle, start to fall apart, throw all-nighters and eventually produce prototypes which may satisfy the course requirements but leave unanswered the larger and more important question: Will the inventions actually make a difference? What we see throughout this touching and humane account of talented young idealists facing the often intractable problems of poverty, is how engineering problems and solutions are ultimately grounded in the real world of ordinary lives and people.' Trevor Pinch, Professor of Science and Technology Studies and Sociology, Cornell University, Author, The Handbook of Sound Studies

'Extreme by Design illustrates the true nature of science, celebrating the scientific spirit and the power of collaborative design...Personalizes the scientific process with background stories from Bangladesh and Indonesia and interviews with the team members...Illustrates the teams' struggles with their ideas, their products, and even themselves...Extreme by Design is highly motivating and inspiring and would be an effective tool for teacher professional development as well as for secondary classroom use.' Deb McNabney, NSTA Recommends

'This documentary is enjoyable and instructive on many levels. It can demonstrate for students of any age, and in any discipline, how design problems can be tackled. It demonstrates the practicalities of the design process, including the value of designing and testing a prototype and of overcoming interpersonal conflicts in pursuit of global solutions.' Faith Brynie, Science Books and Films

'Highly Recommended...The documentary is inspiring and uplifting...would serve well as an introduction to experimental or service learning. In addition, it could foster excellent discussions in engineering, design, or business courses.' Jane Scott, George Fox University, Educational Media Reviews Online

'A masterful testimony of the trials and travails of teamwork, as well as the personal calling to serve the less fortunate, Extreeme By Design is an inspirational film especially recommended for public, high school, and college library DVD collections' The Midwest Book Review

00:00:02.139 --> 00:00:03.180
PAMELA PAVKOV: He's weak.

00:00:03.180 --> 00:00:04.596
She's not taken
him to the clinic,

00:00:04.596 --> 00:00:06.320
and he's not able to walk.

00:00:06.320 --> 00:00:09.725
We're very bound by
this sense of injustice

00:00:09.725 --> 00:00:11.025
that exists in the world.

00:00:14.162 --> 00:00:15.116
That's pretty good.

00:00:15.116 --> 00:00:16.070
That's very good.

00:00:20.200 --> 00:00:22.289
I don't want to just
create another product

00:00:22.289 --> 00:00:23.997
for the sake of creating
another product.

00:00:23.997 --> 00:00:26.256
If we do it, I want to
make sure that it's really

00:00:26.256 --> 00:00:30.128
because it's filling a need that
doesn't currently get filled.

00:00:34.484 --> 00:00:35.042
-Oh my god.

00:00:35.042 --> 00:00:36.500
DURELL COLEMAN: We
have five people

00:00:36.500 --> 00:00:38.610
in our group,
different backgrounds,

00:00:38.610 --> 00:00:40.303
that should be able to mobilize.

00:00:40.303 --> 00:00:40.803
-Stop.

00:00:40.803 --> 00:00:41.303
Stop.

00:00:41.303 --> 00:00:42.185
Stop.

00:00:42.185 --> 00:00:44.068
-Have I thought about the idea
that maybe that won't happen?

00:00:44.068 --> 00:00:44.609
Yeah, I have.

00:00:50.772 --> 00:00:52.980
-There are obviously tons
of mistakes-- little things

00:00:52.980 --> 00:00:55.479
I wish I had done
differently-- but regrets?

00:00:55.479 --> 00:00:55.979
No.

00:00:55.979 --> 00:00:58.474
I mean, this was
totally worth it.

00:01:07.772 --> 00:01:09.230
ANNOUNCER: Funding
for this program

00:01:09.230 --> 00:01:15.040
has been provided by Ralph
T. King, Raymond G. Chambers,

00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:20.900
Mildred and Allan Chin, Anne
T. and Robert M. Bass, Roberta

00:01:20.900 --> 00:01:25.470
and Steve Denning, Cathie and
Pitch Johnson, the James J.

00:01:25.470 --> 00:01:32.330
Cotter Foundation, and by
the following, and others.

00:01:32.330 --> 00:01:34.480
A complete list is
available from PBS.

00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:11.090
NARRATOR: Six graduate students
from Stanford University

00:02:11.090 --> 00:02:14.220
are taking on a
tough assignment.

00:02:14.220 --> 00:02:16.910
This trip to Bangladesh
is part of a course

00:02:16.910 --> 00:02:19.760
on designing very low
cost products that

00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:22.290
meet basic needs of the
world's poorest people.

00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:29.340
Some of the students
are trained engineers,

00:02:29.340 --> 00:02:33.180
but most come from business,
medical, and other backgrounds,

00:02:33.180 --> 00:02:35.920
and have never designed
anything in their lives.

00:02:35.920 --> 00:02:36.878
-Good to see you again.

00:02:36.878 --> 00:02:39.250
-[INAUDIBLE].

00:02:39.250 --> 00:02:40.810
-Yeah, good to see you.

00:02:40.810 --> 00:02:43.566
NARRATOR: Their host is a
pioneering research hospital

00:02:43.566 --> 00:02:44.190
called icddr,b.

00:02:48.450 --> 00:02:50.540
In poor countries
like Bangladesh,

00:02:50.540 --> 00:02:52.870
one of the leading causes of
infant death is pneumonia.

00:02:56.850 --> 00:03:01.000
icddr,b doctors have improvised
an effective but expensive

00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.980
treatment-- a device called
Bubble CPAP that uses water

00:03:04.980 --> 00:03:08.756
pressure to keep airways open.

00:03:08.756 --> 00:03:10.255
They've asked for
the students' help

00:03:10.255 --> 00:03:13.630
in designing a cheaper
version, as well as a low cost

00:03:13.630 --> 00:03:14.915
pump for IUD medicines.

00:03:14.915 --> 00:03:15.956
-It's not available here.

00:03:15.956 --> 00:03:16.690
-No.

00:03:16.690 --> 00:03:17.815
-Yeah, we saw some things--

00:03:17.815 --> 00:03:20.320
NARRATOR: If distributed
widely, the devices

00:03:20.320 --> 00:03:22.430
could save thousands of lives.

00:03:22.430 --> 00:03:25.125
-We didn't think he
would have survived,

00:03:25.125 --> 00:03:29.790
but only because of Bubble
CPAP, he is now [INAUDIBLE].

00:03:29.790 --> 00:03:33.010
NARRATOR: The question is
can the students do it?

00:03:36.409 --> 00:03:37.950
JIM PATELL: Their
whole life, they've

00:03:37.950 --> 00:03:40.710
been successful, particularly
at academic issues.

00:03:40.710 --> 00:03:44.780
They're used to the first
shot being really pretty good.

00:03:44.780 --> 00:03:50.230
This process is foreign
to most of them.

00:03:50.230 --> 00:03:54.140
One of the questions we
ask is describe a situation

00:03:54.140 --> 00:03:57.330
in which you took
a leap of faith.

00:03:57.330 --> 00:03:59.720
We read that question
pretty carefully,

00:03:59.720 --> 00:04:02.250
because that's really what
we're asking people to do.

00:04:08.110 --> 00:04:12.360
We have a very strong a
learning by doing culture here.

00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.930
And we're just going
to start doing.

00:04:15.930 --> 00:04:21.360
NARRATOR: The course, nicknamed
Extreme, began in 2004.

00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:25.030
It focuses on designing
extremely affordable products

00:04:25.030 --> 00:04:28.160
for people in poor communities.

00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:31.580
Jim Patell and his team
teach a process of innovation

00:04:31.580 --> 00:04:34.660
called design thinking.

00:04:34.660 --> 00:04:37.070
It's a set of practices
that encourages

00:04:37.070 --> 00:04:40.320
creativity and taking the
point of view of the people

00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:42.032
who will use the products.

00:04:42.032 --> 00:04:43.490
JIM PATELL: You
see the assignment?

00:04:43.490 --> 00:04:46.760
You're going to build a
free standing structure

00:04:46.760 --> 00:04:52.030
to capture water coming
from a simulated monsoon.

00:04:52.030 --> 00:04:52.990
And I'll point out--

00:04:52.990 --> 00:04:54.940
NARRATOR: In this
exercise, teams

00:04:54.940 --> 00:04:58.630
get 72 hours and
a $20 bill to see

00:04:58.630 --> 00:05:03.430
who can collect the most
water in five minutes.

00:05:03.430 --> 00:05:05.260
It's the students'
introduction to one

00:05:05.260 --> 00:05:07.830
of the course's key ideas.

00:05:07.830 --> 00:05:12.210
The best way to start design
is to make a prototype.

00:05:12.210 --> 00:05:13.960
-Now, the idea that
you can knock together

00:05:13.960 --> 00:05:17.810
a sizable prototype with
duct tape and string

00:05:17.810 --> 00:05:20.457
and sticks-- they're
going to learn something.

00:05:20.457 --> 00:05:22.040
In fact, this team
right here is going

00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:25.130
to learn a lot about how
heavy water actually is.

00:05:25.130 --> 00:05:28.950
And then they're going to learn
something from each other.

00:05:28.950 --> 00:05:31.512
-Supports are good.
[INAUDIBLE] adjust is good.

00:05:31.512 --> 00:05:33.110
That's good.

00:05:33.110 --> 00:05:35.830
Where do we fail?

00:05:35.830 --> 00:05:36.330
-Like this?

00:05:36.330 --> 00:05:39.720
PAMELA PAVKOV: Feel so
incompetent at making stuff.

00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:41.550
I'm really struggling with it.

00:05:41.550 --> 00:05:44.410
But I keep acknowledging that
with my team, being like,

00:05:44.410 --> 00:05:46.080
I'm not good at this.

00:05:46.080 --> 00:05:48.510
My prototypes are lame.

00:05:48.510 --> 00:05:49.720
JIM PATELL: You guys ready?

00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:50.220
All right.

00:05:50.220 --> 00:05:51.368
Turn them on.

00:06:10.810 --> 00:06:13.090
Eight teams have built projects.

00:06:13.090 --> 00:06:16.050
All of them have failed in
one way or another, some

00:06:16.050 --> 00:06:19.310
more spectacularly than
others, because of things they

00:06:19.310 --> 00:06:20.779
didn't anticipate.

00:06:20.779 --> 00:06:22.820
-So we're giving you the
KISS Award-- KISS stands

00:06:22.820 --> 00:06:28.812
for Keep It Simple, Stupid--
for nice elegance and simplicity

00:06:28.812 --> 00:06:31.270
in your design.

00:06:31.270 --> 00:06:34.030
JIM PATELL: But we tell them
if we gave you another $20

00:06:34.030 --> 00:06:36.801
and another 72 hours, you
would knock this project out

00:06:36.801 --> 00:06:37.300
of the park.

00:06:47.570 --> 00:06:48.490
OK.

00:06:48.490 --> 00:06:50.220
Here we are, once again.

00:06:50.220 --> 00:06:52.150
NARRATOR: Every year,
the class partners

00:06:52.150 --> 00:06:54.380
with nonprofit
organizations that

00:06:54.380 --> 00:06:56.550
seek to improve the
lives of the poor.

00:06:56.550 --> 00:06:57.710
-There is no electricity.

00:06:57.710 --> 00:06:59.117
There's no pumped water.

00:06:59.117 --> 00:07:00.760
Diesel pumps are not--

00:07:00.760 --> 00:07:02.770
NARRATOR: Previous
students have produced

00:07:02.770 --> 00:07:08.210
some extraordinary innovations
at astonishingly low prices.

00:07:08.210 --> 00:07:11.580
In Myanmar, thousands of farmers
have doubled their incomes

00:07:11.580 --> 00:07:16.360
with an irrigation pump
that costs less than $25.

00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.970
In India, a $200
sleeping bag is now

00:07:19.970 --> 00:07:23.830
taking the place of
a $20,000 incubator.

00:07:23.830 --> 00:07:26.690
And millions of children
can now read at night thanks

00:07:26.690 --> 00:07:29.925
to a solar powered lantern
that costs less than $10.

00:07:33.060 --> 00:07:36.120
This year's students are
working on 10 projects

00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.530
in five countries, including
Freshwater delivery

00:07:39.530 --> 00:07:42.350
in Indonesia and
the IV medicine pump

00:07:42.350 --> 00:07:44.310
and Bubble CPAP
device in Bangladesh.

00:07:47.130 --> 00:07:49.530
-It's kind of dumb
luck that I'm here

00:07:49.530 --> 00:07:54.280
and that millions of
Bengalis around the world

00:07:54.280 --> 00:07:57.010
are less fortunate.

00:07:57.010 --> 00:08:00.280
Both of my father's parents
and my mother's mother

00:08:00.280 --> 00:08:05.110
are all originally from what
is today known as Bangladesh.

00:08:05.110 --> 00:08:09.650
I spoke Bengali incredibly
well as a little girl.

00:08:09.650 --> 00:08:14.640
I was critically ill in India
when I was six years old.

00:08:14.640 --> 00:08:18.920
That was a very traumatic
experience for our family.

00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:24.580
I was surrounded by kids,
some of them orphans.

00:08:24.580 --> 00:08:28.199
There were kids that
had no one and were

00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:29.490
going to be there indefinitely.

00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:36.763
I ended up leaving
all my toys with them.

00:08:36.763 --> 00:08:42.325
I felt really ashamed,
actually, that I had so much

00:08:42.325 --> 00:08:43.200
and they had nothing.

00:08:54.090 --> 00:08:56.380
-OK, everybody, listen up.

00:08:56.380 --> 00:08:59.080
Find your name on the table.

00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:03.405
If you haven't realized already,
the name indicates your team.

00:09:03.405 --> 00:09:05.010
The country in the
center of the table

00:09:05.010 --> 00:09:07.100
indicates the project
you're going to work on.

00:09:07.100 --> 00:09:08.224
PAMELA PAVKOV: Oh, my gosh.

00:09:08.224 --> 00:09:11.672
I was telling Robin, my family's
abandoned ancestral heritage

00:09:11.672 --> 00:09:12.810
is actually in Bangladesh.

00:09:12.810 --> 00:09:13.310
-Oh, really?

00:09:13.310 --> 00:09:13.810
-Yeah.

00:09:13.810 --> 00:09:16.404
-And my neither of my
parents have ever been.

00:09:16.404 --> 00:09:18.570
DAVID: Did you prepare them
like you might be going?

00:09:18.570 --> 00:09:22.110
-I haven't told them anything.

00:09:22.110 --> 00:09:24.560
NARRATOR: Before departing
for their field research,

00:09:24.560 --> 00:09:28.479
each of the teams must come up
with several crude prototypes.

00:09:28.479 --> 00:09:30.270
-So this is a vertical
access wind turbine.

00:09:30.270 --> 00:09:33.120
It captures wind by using drag.

00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:35.810
-So the first prototype
we built was simply

00:09:35.810 --> 00:09:37.250
a balloon over a syringe.

00:09:37.250 --> 00:09:39.314
And it sort of works
when I don't break it.

00:09:39.314 --> 00:09:41.230
STUDENT: You can actually
turn this device on.

00:09:41.230 --> 00:09:43.480
And this is why it's called
the Bubble CPAP device.

00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:45.460
It actually bubbles.

00:09:45.460 --> 00:09:47.913
And you can actually
increase or decrease that.

00:09:51.850 --> 00:09:56.272
PAMELA PAVKOV: This'll be a real
epic personal journey for me.

00:09:56.272 --> 00:09:58.310
I feel like my life
is about to change.

00:10:25.020 --> 00:10:27.380
NARRATOR: After weeks of
preparation back home,

00:10:27.380 --> 00:10:30.850
the Bangladesh teams have
just eight days on the ground

00:10:30.850 --> 00:10:34.620
to talk to doctors,
nurses, and patients.

00:10:34.620 --> 00:10:38.870
-I am a first year MBA student
at the business school.

00:10:38.870 --> 00:10:42.100
NARRATOR: Seth is working on
the IV medicine and fusion pump

00:10:42.100 --> 00:10:43.195
project with Chris.

00:10:43.195 --> 00:10:45.380
-I'm actually a
type one diabetic,

00:10:45.380 --> 00:10:48.890
so I have my own infusion
pump, so this project

00:10:48.890 --> 00:10:53.170
is really kind of a
personal thing for me.

00:10:53.170 --> 00:10:55.580
NARRATOR: Pam,
Carey, and Andy are

00:10:55.580 --> 00:10:58.160
designing a more
affordable CPAP breathing

00:10:58.160 --> 00:11:02.110
device, while David is
part of another team that

00:11:02.110 --> 00:11:04.310
is focused on the
device's nose piece.

00:11:04.310 --> 00:11:06.170
-We could still use it--

00:11:16.100 --> 00:11:19.052
DOCTOR: It is the third time
that this baby got admitted.

00:11:19.052 --> 00:11:23.080
And he is on Bubble CPAP
for the last two days.

00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:26.850
And we can see that [INAUDIBLE]
saturation, heart rate,

00:11:26.850 --> 00:11:29.370
because when we
stop giving oxygen,

00:11:29.370 --> 00:11:31.675
the babies become bradycardic.

00:11:31.675 --> 00:11:32.800
PAMELA PAVKOV: Become what?

00:11:32.800 --> 00:11:33.633
DOCTOR: Bradycardic.

00:11:33.633 --> 00:11:35.500
The heart rate slows down.

00:11:35.500 --> 00:11:39.760
NARRATOR: icddr,b's innovative
treatment is pumping both air

00:11:39.760 --> 00:11:43.830
and pure oxygen into Habib,
giving him a fighting chance

00:11:43.830 --> 00:11:45.560
to stay alive.

00:11:45.560 --> 00:11:49.120
But for most babies here, the
treatment is out of reach--

00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:52.500
unless the students to
find a way to cut its cost.

00:12:02.390 --> 00:12:06.634
-Looks like he's getting a
diarrhea treatment-- saline.

00:12:06.634 --> 00:12:07.133
Yeah.

00:12:07.133 --> 00:12:09.840
Oh, poor baby.

00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:11.830
NARRATOR: In another
ward, Seth meets

00:12:11.830 --> 00:12:17.160
a mother whose child is
being hooked up to an IV.

00:12:17.160 --> 00:12:18.136
-It's OK.

00:12:18.136 --> 00:12:19.112
It's all right.

00:12:22.530 --> 00:12:25.140
-At least early on, I was less
interested in figuring out

00:12:25.140 --> 00:12:27.514
the details of what we were
going to do with our infusion

00:12:27.514 --> 00:12:29.240
pump than I was with
meeting the people

00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:31.600
and trying to figure out what
they were about, I guess,

00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.212
if that make sense.

00:12:33.212 --> 00:12:34.420
I know it seems silly, right?

00:12:34.420 --> 00:12:36.337
Like an infusion pump
is a medical device.

00:12:36.337 --> 00:12:37.420
You can put schematics up.

00:12:37.420 --> 00:12:39.100
But then, you're not
going to go through

00:12:39.100 --> 00:12:41.766
with figuring out the process to
get it right if you don't care.

00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:46.440
And so they early part
was just developing

00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:47.700
the passion and the empathy.

00:12:54.740 --> 00:12:57.580
-One of the things that we
thought would be fun could be--

00:12:57.580 --> 00:13:00.870
NARRATOR: The teams ask the
icddr,b staff what they think

00:13:00.870 --> 00:13:02.060
of their prototypes.

00:13:02.060 --> 00:13:04.060
PAMELA PAVKOV: The mothers
seem pretty-- I mean,

00:13:04.060 --> 00:13:05.976
when we first saw the
pictures of Bubble CPAP,

00:13:05.976 --> 00:13:07.560
it seemed very scary.

00:13:07.560 --> 00:13:08.270
-Yeah, scary.

00:13:08.270 --> 00:13:09.894
PAMELA PAVKOV: But
they actually seem--

00:13:09.894 --> 00:13:12.780
do the parents or families
respond negatively

00:13:12.780 --> 00:13:14.520
to the apparatus or
are they OK with it?

00:13:14.520 --> 00:13:17.550
-Actually, they [INAUDIBLE]
not, just one, [? maybe. ?]

00:13:17.550 --> 00:13:21.850
But it would be a much
more positive response.

00:13:21.850 --> 00:13:25.170
-So the idea, I guess,
that we were thinking is

00:13:25.170 --> 00:13:27.980
you have a lot of patients
in the short care area.

00:13:27.980 --> 00:13:30.220
NARRATOR: The students
learn that to be affordable,

00:13:30.220 --> 00:13:32.310
any device they make
has to be easily

00:13:32.310 --> 00:13:35.355
service with parts from Dhaka's
medical supply market, which

00:13:35.355 --> 00:13:35.855
is nearby.

00:13:47.009 --> 00:13:48.800
PAMELA PAVKOV: How is
the market organized?

00:13:48.800 --> 00:13:49.660
-No, there is no such--

00:13:49.660 --> 00:13:50.993
PAMELA PAVKOV: Is it just chaos?

00:13:52.557 --> 00:13:53.890
ANDY CHANG: We were blacked out.

00:13:53.890 --> 00:13:56.680
And yes, the light is back on
now, which is pretty awesome.

00:13:56.680 --> 00:13:57.280
Oh, wait.

00:13:57.280 --> 00:13:58.210
Did we speak too soon?

00:13:58.210 --> 00:13:58.710
No.

00:13:58.710 --> 00:13:59.760
Light is back on.

00:13:59.760 --> 00:14:03.360
-For the pump and the syringe,
do you have that the tube

00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:06.270
and the needle and everything
that goes in the arm?

00:14:06.270 --> 00:14:07.340
You have these here?

00:14:07.340 --> 00:14:08.050
Can I see one?

00:14:08.050 --> 00:14:11.590
NARRATOR: Seth has found a shop
that sells very cheap IV tubes.

00:14:11.590 --> 00:14:14.785
But for icddr,b's infusion
pumps, they're useless.

00:14:14.785 --> 00:14:15.910
SETH NORMAN: None of those?

00:14:15.910 --> 00:14:17.784
NARRATOR: He learns that
the only tubing that

00:14:17.784 --> 00:14:20.150
will fit the hospital's
pumps is the overpriced

00:14:20.150 --> 00:14:21.889
kind made by the manufacturer.

00:14:21.889 --> 00:14:23.430
SETH NORMAN: What
else can you show--

00:14:23.430 --> 00:14:25.530
What was so expensive
about these pumps

00:14:25.530 --> 00:14:28.594
was not the pumps themselves
but buying the IV tubing sets.

00:14:28.594 --> 00:14:30.260
And so we would have
to create something

00:14:30.260 --> 00:14:32.570
that worked with all
tubing sets to really put

00:14:32.570 --> 00:14:34.588
a dent in this problem.

00:14:34.588 --> 00:14:38.186
-Look around some more.

00:14:38.186 --> 00:14:41.550
SETH NORMAN: I would
describe myself as someone

00:14:41.550 --> 00:14:44.160
with a bit of an adventurous
streak, someone who's

00:14:44.160 --> 00:14:46.350
interested in
going to the places

00:14:46.350 --> 00:14:48.690
and doing the things that
most people wouldn't want to.

00:14:51.250 --> 00:14:53.420
I was really lucky to
be a platoon leader.

00:14:53.420 --> 00:14:57.220
And I had 65 guys over there.

00:14:57.220 --> 00:14:59.070
There was one set
of missions where

00:14:59.070 --> 00:15:01.140
we were rolling over
land mines and IUDs

00:15:01.140 --> 00:15:04.730
like twice a day for a
period of several weeks.

00:15:04.730 --> 00:15:06.371
We did have wounded.

00:15:06.371 --> 00:15:07.620
We did give out purple hearts.

00:15:07.620 --> 00:15:09.410
But every single one
of my guys came home.

00:15:09.410 --> 00:15:10.534
And I'm very proud of that.

00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:21.625
I had liked to think that I had
seen a little bit in my time.

00:15:21.625 --> 00:15:27.030
But then to land in Dhaka was
unlike anywhere I'd ever been.

00:15:27.030 --> 00:15:32.900
To see the human suffering
on that epically huge scale--

00:15:32.900 --> 00:15:34.665
I mean, it was overwhelming.

00:15:34.665 --> 00:15:35.490
Very overwhelming.

00:15:40.880 --> 00:15:43.980
We were in the hospital, and
it was the second or third day,

00:15:43.980 --> 00:15:45.755
so everyone's stomachs
are still adjusting

00:15:45.755 --> 00:15:47.495
and we're all a
little sleep deprived.

00:15:51.367 --> 00:15:52.950
I don't know a better
way to put this.

00:15:52.950 --> 00:15:56.793
But just it got very, very
real at one point in there.

00:16:04.681 --> 00:16:06.653
MOTHER: [SPEAKING BENGALI]

00:16:54.270 --> 00:16:56.330
-I think it's really
hard being here,

00:16:56.330 --> 00:16:59.380
because you just--
there's no difference

00:16:59.380 --> 00:17:03.198
between the way that I look
and the way these moms look.

00:17:03.198 --> 00:17:06.012
They're basically the same.

00:17:06.012 --> 00:17:10.030
It's kind of totally random
that I'm a Stanford student

00:17:10.030 --> 00:17:13.970
in California with every
opportunity to treat my child,

00:17:13.970 --> 00:17:16.582
and she doesn't.

00:17:16.582 --> 00:17:17.558
I hate that.

00:17:17.558 --> 00:17:19.510
It just seems so fucking unfair.

00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:44.740
NARRATOR: Several
thousand miles away,

00:17:44.740 --> 00:17:47.940
four members of the
Indonesian team-- Rosaria,

00:17:47.940 --> 00:17:52.976
Durell, Jon, and Andres-- are
on their way to Nusa Penida,

00:17:52.976 --> 00:17:55.260
an island where they've
been told people suffer

00:17:55.260 --> 00:17:57.730
from a shortage of fresh water.

00:17:57.730 --> 00:17:59.410
-It looks quite
lush, doesn't it?

00:17:59.410 --> 00:18:03.100
It doesn't look very dry.

00:18:03.100 --> 00:18:05.130
NARRATOR: The team has
had very little contact

00:18:05.130 --> 00:18:07.550
with their Indonesian
partner, IBEKA.

00:18:07.550 --> 00:18:11.170
All they really know is what
was the outlined on a one page

00:18:11.170 --> 00:18:13.122
description of the project.

00:18:13.122 --> 00:18:14.580
DURELL COLEMAN:
The sheet explained

00:18:14.580 --> 00:18:16.430
that the water they
usually drank from

00:18:16.430 --> 00:18:19.370
was brackish-- that they had
a fresh water source that

00:18:19.370 --> 00:18:23.090
was many miles away in a cave,
and that it was very difficult

00:18:23.090 --> 00:18:25.290
for them to get the
water from that cave

00:18:25.290 --> 00:18:26.520
if they wanted fresh water.

00:18:30.840 --> 00:18:33.630
NARRATOR: Their IBEKA
guides, Adi and Digda,

00:18:33.630 --> 00:18:35.950
have never been to the island.

00:18:35.950 --> 00:18:38.430
And they have just six
days to figure out a plan.

00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:50.210
Their first stop-- Guyangan
Cave, the source of fresh water

00:18:50.210 --> 00:18:54.110
that lies at the bottom
of a 500-foot cliff.

00:18:54.110 --> 00:18:55.920
They've been told
that villagers have

00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:59.746
to haul the water up by hand.

00:18:59.746 --> 00:19:02.136
DURELL COLEMAN: Careful.

00:19:02.136 --> 00:19:04.940
Don't depend on this rail?

00:19:04.940 --> 00:19:05.745
Which one's better?

00:19:08.335 --> 00:19:12.710
I wanted to be an inventor since
I was nine years old-- flying

00:19:12.710 --> 00:19:13.820
cars and things like that.

00:19:13.820 --> 00:19:17.440
But over time, it
became much more

00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:19.410
about creating
products that mattered,

00:19:19.410 --> 00:19:21.830
I think, to other
people, as well.

00:19:21.830 --> 00:19:24.300
-Oh, my god.

00:19:24.300 --> 00:19:28.970
We are hanging over a cliff.

00:19:28.970 --> 00:19:33.780
DURELL COLEMAN: I'm pretty
intense, pretty focused.

00:19:33.780 --> 00:19:36.410
So going into anything, I'm
always expecting it to work.

00:19:40.410 --> 00:19:42.340
NARRATOR: As the
team descends, they

00:19:42.340 --> 00:19:50.210
notice something unexpected--
a water pipe, and then,

00:19:50.210 --> 00:19:53.755
at the base of the
cliff, a pumping station.

00:19:59.327 --> 00:20:01.910
DURELL COLEMAN: We were thinking
maybe we'll use wind turbines

00:20:01.910 --> 00:20:03.580
and we'll mechanically
pump water up.

00:20:03.580 --> 00:20:05.230
And when we got
there, we realized

00:20:05.230 --> 00:20:07.480
that they have a diesel
generator that's pumping water

00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:10.640
to these villages all the time.

00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:13.700
JON STRAHL: Why do they
take containers down here?

00:20:13.700 --> 00:20:15.872
Why not just use-- get
the water from up there?

00:20:19.710 --> 00:20:24.740
MAN: Usually, they use it for
the ceremonial, where they only

00:20:24.740 --> 00:20:27.080
take the water directly
from the source.

00:20:27.080 --> 00:20:28.140
-Oh, OK.

00:20:28.140 --> 00:20:29.850
NARRATOR: It turns
out the only water

00:20:29.850 --> 00:20:33.590
the villagers haul manually
is for religious ceremonies.

00:20:33.590 --> 00:20:34.830
The bulk of it is pumped.

00:20:45.030 --> 00:20:47.690
As the team travels from
one village to another,

00:20:47.690 --> 00:20:52.500
they see more and more
pipes and faucets,

00:20:52.500 --> 00:20:56.764
contradicting everything
they'd been told.

00:20:56.764 --> 00:20:57.756
-[SPEAKING INDONESIAN]

00:21:08.670 --> 00:21:10.900
-Everyone supposedly
has a water issue.

00:21:10.900 --> 00:21:12.610
But we hadn't been
able to find it.

00:21:16.110 --> 00:21:19.717
-Sekartaji, away we go.

00:21:24.330 --> 00:21:25.830
NARRATOR: The next
day, the students

00:21:25.830 --> 00:21:30.980
continue along the route
of the piping system

00:21:30.980 --> 00:21:34.360
and discover a point
where it stops.

00:21:34.360 --> 00:21:37.710
-This is the last faucet
that they installed.

00:21:37.710 --> 00:21:39.660
NARRATOR: Beyond that,
they find that people

00:21:39.660 --> 00:21:42.270
maintain an old tradition.

00:21:42.270 --> 00:21:44.750
They collect
rainwater and store it

00:21:44.750 --> 00:21:49.320
in big underground
tanks called chubangs.

00:21:49.320 --> 00:21:52.294
The problem is, it doesn't
rain all year long.

-[SPEAKING INDONESIAN]

00:22:00.812 --> 00:22:02.520
DURELL COLEMAN: We
started to brainstorm.

00:22:02.520 --> 00:22:03.560
We started to come
up with ideas.

00:22:03.560 --> 00:22:04.910
We started to lay out
all the information

00:22:04.910 --> 00:22:07.570
that we gathered to debrief
together to really understand

00:22:07.570 --> 00:22:10.000
the nature of the
problem that they have.

00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:11.650
We realized it was
a storage problem.

00:22:11.650 --> 00:22:13.500
It wasn't a collection problem.

00:22:13.500 --> 00:22:17.850
And so we came up with
solutions around storage.

00:22:17.850 --> 00:22:19.290
NARRATOR: With
just one day left,

00:22:19.290 --> 00:22:20.800
the team comes up
with a way they

00:22:20.800 --> 00:22:24.490
think can expand people's
water storage capacity,

00:22:24.490 --> 00:22:25.615
and do it cheaply.

00:22:30.584 --> 00:22:31.500
-[SPEAKING INDONESIAN]

00:23:24.174 --> 00:23:26.090
DURELL COLEMAN: There
were different reactions

00:23:26.090 --> 00:23:27.405
on the island.

00:23:27.405 --> 00:23:29.530
Some of the people were
saying that they absolutely

00:23:29.530 --> 00:23:31.760
wouldn't use something
that's plastic.

00:23:31.760 --> 00:23:34.650
But the more general
consensus was if you build it

00:23:34.650 --> 00:23:37.710
and we can see that it doesn't
leak, we can see that it lasts,

00:23:37.710 --> 00:23:40.883
we can see that the water
isn't toxic, then we'll buy it.

00:23:47.292 --> 00:23:49.257
-Did you guys use the prototype?

00:23:49.257 --> 00:23:49.757
-Yeah.

00:24:00.110 --> 00:24:01.096
-I'm like an animal.

00:24:01.096 --> 00:24:04.480
I'm like, the air feels so good.

00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:06.630
NARRATOR: As the teams
head back to Stanford,

00:24:06.630 --> 00:24:09.170
they take with them more
than just technical insights.

00:24:13.080 --> 00:24:14.900
PAMELA PAVKOV: I would
describe the impact

00:24:14.900 --> 00:24:21.030
that Halima and Habib
had on me as the moment.

00:24:21.030 --> 00:24:24.235
The boundaries there just
completely collapsed.

00:24:26.880 --> 00:24:28.196
They just fueled my motivation.

00:24:30.940 --> 00:24:34.404
I don't care if I'm hungry,
sick, tired, lonely.

00:24:34.404 --> 00:24:35.320
I'm going to be there.

00:24:35.320 --> 00:24:38.880
I'm gonna keep working.

00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:42.050
And we're going to dedicate
the remainder of this course

00:24:42.050 --> 00:24:44.100
to designing a
solution around this.

00:24:58.368 --> 00:25:02.342
-Nobody's intestines
are falling out now?

00:25:02.342 --> 00:25:03.800
NARRATOR: The
students are all back

00:25:03.800 --> 00:25:05.376
for the second
half of the class.

00:25:08.329 --> 00:25:09.370
JIM PATELL: Welcome back.

00:25:09.370 --> 00:25:14.120
We are glad you are all
here in one piece and happy.

00:25:14.120 --> 00:25:17.830
NARRATOR: Now, the clock
begins counting down.

00:25:17.830 --> 00:25:19.880
They've got just
10 weeks to design

00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:23.950
a product for their
overseas partners.

00:25:23.950 --> 00:25:26.860
-It's not just here's
an idea and then

00:25:26.860 --> 00:25:30.340
General Motors or Boeing's
engineers will flesh it out.

00:25:30.340 --> 00:25:31.986
We got to flesh it out.

00:25:31.986 --> 00:25:34.152
And we got to finish it and
we got to shrink wrap it

00:25:34.152 --> 00:25:36.440
and we got to deliver it.

00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:38.060
NARRATOR: Their first deadline?

00:25:38.060 --> 00:25:39.039
Three weeks.

00:25:39.039 --> 00:25:41.580
JIM PATELL: One of the hardest
parts in any of these projects

00:25:41.580 --> 00:25:44.210
is getting started.

00:25:44.210 --> 00:25:46.060
The nice thing
about deadlines is

00:25:46.060 --> 00:25:48.270
nothing like a hanging
to focus your attention.

00:25:50.057 --> 00:25:51.890
DURELL COLEMAN: When
we went to the islands,

00:25:51.890 --> 00:25:53.510
the team dynamic was amazing.

00:25:53.510 --> 00:25:54.310
There weren't any
other distractions.

00:25:54.310 --> 00:25:55.310
There was no internet.

00:25:55.310 --> 00:25:56.370
There was no cellphone.

00:25:56.370 --> 00:25:58.950
So it was all geared
towards this one mission.

00:25:58.950 --> 00:26:01.260
-What about any
other time Thursday?

00:26:01.260 --> 00:26:03.349
DURELL COLEMAN: We
got back, and everyone

00:26:03.349 --> 00:26:04.640
had their different priorities.

00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:06.946
Everyone had their
different schedules.

00:26:06.946 --> 00:26:08.940
NARRATOR: But
scheduling is only part

00:26:08.940 --> 00:26:11.460
of the problem the
teams now face.

00:26:11.460 --> 00:26:13.970
JIM PATELL: They
come back with reams

00:26:13.970 --> 00:26:16.930
of notes and chips
full of photos.

00:26:16.930 --> 00:26:22.150
And now, out of all the great
things we could be working on,

00:26:22.150 --> 00:26:24.460
what are we gonna do?

00:26:24.460 --> 00:26:26.390
NARRATOR: For their
first design review,

00:26:26.390 --> 00:26:28.990
they'll have to choose
just one of the many ideas

00:26:28.990 --> 00:26:30.614
and prototypes
they've developed.

00:26:30.614 --> 00:26:31.380
STUDENT: We kill the lasers.

00:26:31.380 --> 00:26:31.770
-You don't like lasers?

00:26:31.770 --> 00:26:33.083
STUDENT: Gotta kill the lasers.

00:26:33.083 --> 00:26:33.582
-No, no, no.

00:26:33.582 --> 00:26:35.640
-He's not being a team player.

00:26:35.640 --> 00:26:38.120
NARRATOR: Most teams
proceed by consensus.

00:26:38.120 --> 00:26:38.851
-No, you win.

00:26:38.851 --> 00:26:39.350
You win.

00:26:39.350 --> 00:26:40.870
We're going to go vertical.

00:26:40.870 --> 00:26:43.300
SETH NORMAN: We've all
worked very hard not

00:26:43.300 --> 00:26:47.420
to have a dominant force
on a team in any way.

00:26:47.420 --> 00:26:50.890
I know that sounds impossible,
because pretty much every team

00:26:50.890 --> 00:26:53.210
you go into, someone
sort of emerges.

00:26:53.210 --> 00:26:56.650
But it's sort of a group effort
to move the chains forward.

00:26:56.650 --> 00:26:59.960
-My feeling would be to go
with that [INAUDIBLE] size,

00:26:59.960 --> 00:27:02.690
and then do by calculation--
we would need these [INAUDIBLE]

00:27:02.690 --> 00:27:03.877
statistics.

00:27:03.877 --> 00:27:05.960
NARRATOR: But making
decisions this way can eat up

00:27:05.960 --> 00:27:08.480
time the teams will
wish they had later on.

00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:16.910
-So it sounds like we need
to start with the behaviors.

00:27:16.910 --> 00:27:19.530
NARRATOR: On the breathing
device team, unlike the others,

00:27:19.530 --> 00:27:21.766
an early leader has emerged.

00:27:21.766 --> 00:27:23.390
-Let's start with
the behavioral stuff.

00:27:23.390 --> 00:27:25.889
ANDY CHANG: We kind of joke
that Pam's the mom of our group.

00:27:25.889 --> 00:27:29.272
Pam has this amazing ability
to keep things rolling

00:27:29.272 --> 00:27:31.480
and keep us rolling towards
our ultimate destination.

00:27:35.950 --> 00:27:37.680
-On my wedding day,
my dad described me

00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:40.385
to our entire guests
as bossy and talkative.

00:27:43.680 --> 00:27:48.250
I think Andy, Carey, and Karen
ascribe a lot more credit to me

00:27:48.250 --> 00:27:49.780
than I deserve.

00:27:49.780 --> 00:27:52.890
I think it was just mainly
finding the right configuration

00:27:52.890 --> 00:27:57.960
of people and circumstances to
unlock what was already there.

00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:01.900
NARRATOR: Their first task is
to explore cheap and simple ways

00:28:01.900 --> 00:28:04.790
to deliver a steady
stream of air, something

00:28:04.790 --> 00:28:07.340
they'll have to demonstrate
to the instructors.

00:28:07.340 --> 00:28:10.473
-Three, two, one.

00:28:10.473 --> 00:28:11.916
And blast off.

00:28:17.690 --> 00:28:19.570
-The World Health
Organization estimates

00:28:19.570 --> 00:28:22.385
that approximately six
million children in Bangladesh

00:28:22.385 --> 00:28:23.880
suffer from pneumonia each year.

00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:25.848
-A critical function
is that we need

00:28:25.848 --> 00:28:28.308
to generate 10 or
more liters per minute

00:28:28.308 --> 00:28:31.470
of continuous
pressurized air flow that

00:28:31.470 --> 00:28:34.209
can last for something
around two days straight.

00:28:34.209 --> 00:28:36.250
-One of the things that
we realized from our trip

00:28:36.250 --> 00:28:40.620
to Bangladesh was just how
difficult it is to get oxygen.

00:28:40.620 --> 00:28:43.330
Oxygen concentrators are
very expensive and prone

00:28:43.330 --> 00:28:45.220
to breaking, and the
cylinders are not only

00:28:45.220 --> 00:28:46.886
incredibly expensive,
they're apparently

00:28:46.886 --> 00:28:48.710
a logistical nightmare.

00:28:48.710 --> 00:28:50.430
And so a breakthrough
innovation in terms

00:28:50.430 --> 00:28:53.660
of understanding the science
and building this device

00:28:53.660 --> 00:28:57.055
is that perhaps oxygen
needs to be made optional.

00:28:57.055 --> 00:28:58.555
One of the things
that we realized--

00:28:58.555 --> 00:29:00.980
NARRATOR: The team has decided
to build the device that

00:29:00.980 --> 00:29:05.900
does the job without oxygen,
pumping only room air.

00:29:05.900 --> 00:29:08.130
PAMELA PAVKOV: We
ran six trials,

00:29:08.130 --> 00:29:12.372
three with 15-pound weights and
three with 30-pound weights.

00:29:12.372 --> 00:29:14.830
CAREY LEE: And what we found
was that this little fan could

00:29:14.830 --> 00:29:18.162
inflate this 50-liter
bag in about 45 seconds.

00:29:18.162 --> 00:29:19.592
[APPLAUSE]

00:29:19.592 --> 00:29:20.550
DAVID BEACH: All right.

00:29:20.550 --> 00:29:22.050
Thank you for
presenting the videos.

00:29:22.050 --> 00:29:22.610
Bravo.

00:29:22.610 --> 00:29:24.124
That's fantastic.

00:29:24.124 --> 00:29:25.040
You've looked at time.

00:29:25.040 --> 00:29:26.660
You have looked at displacement.

00:29:26.660 --> 00:29:31.060
And a notion that you might
not need oxygen blows my mind.

00:29:31.060 --> 00:29:33.750
It never occurred to me that
that might be an option.

00:29:33.750 --> 00:29:37.530
So I thought that was
a stunning insight.

00:29:37.530 --> 00:29:38.530
-It's 11:00.

00:29:38.530 --> 00:29:40.325
We should probably head
over and get ready.

00:29:40.325 --> 00:29:42.780
NARRATOR: The infusion
pump team-- Matt,

00:29:42.780 --> 00:29:45.840
Kevin, Chris, and
Seth-- has also

00:29:45.840 --> 00:29:47.862
made a big design breakthrough.

00:29:47.862 --> 00:29:49.570
SETH NORMAN: What they
need in Bangladesh

00:29:49.570 --> 00:29:52.760
is not necessarily a
low cost infusion pump.

00:29:52.760 --> 00:29:55.222
It's a low operating
cost infusion pump.

00:29:55.222 --> 00:29:56.680
One of the big
problems for them is

00:29:56.680 --> 00:29:59.850
they spend so much money on
these proprietary tubing sets.

00:29:59.850 --> 00:30:02.480
So a manufacturer sells an
infusion pump to a hospital.

00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:03.980
They buy the infusion
pump, and they

00:30:03.980 --> 00:30:07.500
have to use these specialized
tubing sets with that pump.

00:30:07.500 --> 00:30:10.046
-I think the second big insight,
which sounds really simple,

00:30:10.046 --> 00:30:11.420
but shouldn't be
underestimated--

00:30:11.420 --> 00:30:13.929
is that you don't
actually need a pump.

00:30:13.929 --> 00:30:15.970
SETH NORMAN: As we learned
from spending our time

00:30:15.970 --> 00:30:18.330
in Bangladesh, the
body will do most

00:30:18.330 --> 00:30:20.010
of the sucking in of the fluids.

00:30:20.010 --> 00:30:23.660
So it's just a question
of 95% of the medications

00:30:23.660 --> 00:30:25.910
can be delivered with just
gravity and the human body

00:30:25.910 --> 00:30:26.907
sucking it in.

00:30:26.907 --> 00:30:28.990
-We shouldn't really be
called infusion pump team.

00:30:28.990 --> 00:30:32.690
We're actually the
infusion regulator team.

00:30:32.690 --> 00:30:35.080
NARRATOR: Their concept
of a pump-free device

00:30:35.080 --> 00:30:37.320
that will work with
any make of tubing

00:30:37.320 --> 00:30:39.920
impresses the instructors.

00:30:39.920 --> 00:30:43.190
But they're demonstration
of it is less successful.

00:30:43.190 --> 00:30:44.290
SETH NORMAN: --talk about.

00:30:44.290 --> 00:30:45.934
Sorry.

00:30:45.934 --> 00:30:48.350
And the motor, unfortunately,
we don't have a power source

00:30:48.350 --> 00:30:50.480
in this lab, so really
looking at these power--

00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:52.540
[INTERPOSING VOICES]

00:30:52.540 --> 00:30:54.540
SETH NORMAN: Demonstrate
through the same thing.

00:30:54.540 --> 00:30:56.530
And once it flips on,
it actually starts

00:30:56.530 --> 00:31:00.222
to twist the tubing set,
creating the kink in the line.

00:31:00.222 --> 00:31:01.680
And whether you do
it soft or hard,

00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:05.152
it'll actually completely
stop or regulator the flow.

00:31:05.152 --> 00:31:06.210
-So that's about it.

00:31:06.210 --> 00:31:10.030
If you guys have questions,
we'd love to hear them.

00:31:10.030 --> 00:31:12.560
-I wish the prototypes
had-- there had been a video

00:31:12.560 --> 00:31:16.194
or you could put it my lap
and it'll actually pump.

00:31:16.194 --> 00:31:18.110
I actually believe that
they're going to work,

00:31:18.110 --> 00:31:20.856
but I wish that you had
demonstrated that to me.

00:31:20.856 --> 00:31:22.730
And then I'm wondering
if you can't combine--

00:31:22.730 --> 00:31:25.430
CHRIS: He made a good point-- it
would be so much better if you

00:31:25.430 --> 00:31:27.440
could actually make
this thing work.

00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:29.690
None of this stuff
actually works in any way.

00:31:29.690 --> 00:31:31.900
And so I think--

00:31:31.900 --> 00:31:34.000
-Well, if we plug it
up to the power source

00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:35.470
back in the room, it well.

00:31:35.470 --> 00:31:38.309
I think his point-- he wanted
to see it on video running.

00:31:38.309 --> 00:31:40.100
SETH NORMAN: Chris and
I think about things

00:31:40.100 --> 00:31:41.360
totally differently.

00:31:41.360 --> 00:31:42.420
He's an engineer.

00:31:42.420 --> 00:31:43.340
I'm a business guy.

00:31:43.340 --> 00:31:44.200
I think this way.

00:31:44.200 --> 00:31:46.830
He thinks that way.

00:31:46.830 --> 00:31:48.200
Early on, it was fine.

00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:50.012
But now looking
back, I could see

00:31:50.012 --> 00:31:51.720
where the fault lines
started to develop.

00:31:54.697 --> 00:31:56.530
DURELL COLEMAN: The
Chubangs are overflowing

00:31:56.530 --> 00:31:57.580
during the rainy season.

00:31:57.580 --> 00:32:00.590
And during the dry season,
like I say, there's not enough.

00:32:00.590 --> 00:32:02.630
NARRATOR: Since returning
from Nusa Penida,

00:32:02.630 --> 00:32:05.360
the Indonesia team
has scrapped the idea

00:32:05.360 --> 00:32:06.740
of putting a tank underground.

00:32:06.740 --> 00:32:11.170
-So our main solution is what
we like to call the Salchicha.

00:32:11.170 --> 00:32:13.340
"Salchicha" means
"sausage" in Spanish.

00:32:13.340 --> 00:32:15.660
-So we thought about
something like this,

00:32:15.660 --> 00:32:18.040
which already exists.

00:32:18.040 --> 00:32:20.190
NARRATOR: Now, to
cut costs, they've

00:32:20.190 --> 00:32:23.222
switched to something
that sits above ground.

00:32:23.222 --> 00:32:26.405
--[INAUDIBLE] catch it.
[INAUDIBLE] is actually

00:32:26.405 --> 00:32:27.900
the storage.

00:32:27.900 --> 00:32:30.270
-Do you feel like you can do it?

00:32:30.270 --> 00:32:31.210
-I do.

00:32:31.210 --> 00:32:34.142
JIM PATELL: You all seem
remarkably calm, which is good.

00:32:34.142 --> 00:32:35.350
That was a good presentation.

00:32:35.350 --> 00:32:36.218
Thank you very much.

00:32:36.218 --> 00:32:37.652
And thank you [INAUDIBLE].

00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:44.030
NARRATOR: Before their
next design review,

00:32:44.030 --> 00:32:50.250
each team must create full scale
prototypes that actually work.

00:32:50.250 --> 00:32:52.740
But already, the
whole experience

00:32:52.740 --> 00:32:56.020
is making the students
consider bigger questions.

00:32:56.020 --> 00:32:58.690
PAMELA PAVKOV: We just had our
design review this one day.

00:32:58.690 --> 00:33:00.690
And it went really well.

00:33:00.690 --> 00:33:05.085
And I remember driving up to
San Francisco that afternoon,

00:33:05.085 --> 00:33:08.040
just reflecting upon
the day and realizing

00:33:08.040 --> 00:33:11.042
that I had accidentally
created a start up.

00:33:14.110 --> 00:33:15.620
NARRATOR: Before
the class started,

00:33:15.620 --> 00:33:18.040
Pam had agreed to work
at an investment firm

00:33:18.040 --> 00:33:20.930
when she finished her MBA.

00:33:20.930 --> 00:33:22.543
Now, she is reconsidering.

00:33:22.543 --> 00:33:23.918
PAMELA PAVKOV:
When you're trying

00:33:23.918 --> 00:33:26.505
to design a medical device
that treats infants that

00:33:26.505 --> 00:33:29.135
would otherwise not
live, for me, at least,

00:33:29.135 --> 00:33:34.094
it feels almost morally
wrong to walk away.

00:33:34.094 --> 00:33:35.260
-That leaves you with three.

00:33:35.260 --> 00:33:36.230
What is three?

00:33:36.230 --> 00:33:37.969
-Three is connecting--

00:33:37.969 --> 00:33:39.510
NARRATOR: Soon,
she'll have to decide

00:33:39.510 --> 00:33:43.795
whether to change plans
and pursue a start up.

00:33:43.795 --> 00:33:44.920
PAMELA PAVKOV: Interesting.

00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:45.905
Look at this.

00:33:45.905 --> 00:33:46.405
-Oh, yeah.

00:33:46.405 --> 00:33:46.946
You're right.

00:33:46.946 --> 00:33:49.691
It's coming up.

00:33:49.691 --> 00:33:51.107
PAMELA PAVKOV: I
really want to do

00:33:51.107 --> 00:33:53.830
something that
has a real impact.

00:33:53.830 --> 00:33:55.315
So that's where I am.

00:34:00.790 --> 00:34:03.820
-We want to be able to
basically count drips.

00:34:03.820 --> 00:34:06.260
And so I'm making a
little optical sensor

00:34:06.260 --> 00:34:10.000
to try to count-- detect
when a drip passes.

00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:12.940
NARRATOR: To pay his tuition,
Chris, the infusion team's

00:34:12.940 --> 00:34:17.590
sole engineer, works 20 hours
a week as a teaching assistant.

00:34:17.590 --> 00:34:20.570
In his spare time, he makes
parts for his team's infusion

00:34:20.570 --> 00:34:23.239
device.

00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:26.750
Doing away with the pump
eliminated one problem,

00:34:26.750 --> 00:34:29.480
but introduced another.

00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:31.810
Now, to regulate the
flow of medicine,

00:34:31.810 --> 00:34:34.911
they'll need a tube
clamp and a drop counter.

00:34:39.035 --> 00:34:39.868
CHRIS STIVERS: Boom.

00:34:39.868 --> 00:34:40.773
Counted.

00:34:40.773 --> 00:34:41.272
Yeah.

00:34:45.952 --> 00:34:47.464
WOMAN: It's a little scary.

00:34:47.464 --> 00:34:48.755
[INAUDIBLE] pent-up aggression.

00:34:52.060 --> 00:34:55.110
-Get out of my way.

00:34:55.110 --> 00:34:58.140
NARRATOR: The Indonesia team
is trying to turn the table top

00:34:58.140 --> 00:35:00.670
model into a full
scale prototype.

00:35:00.670 --> 00:35:02.977
STUDENT: You ready, Durell?

00:35:02.977 --> 00:35:04.560
DURELL COLEMAN: We
thought we're going

00:35:04.560 --> 00:35:06.601
to have a frame, basically,
that supports a tarp.

00:35:06.601 --> 00:35:10.050
And it was just going to
funnel water into the bucket.

00:35:10.050 --> 00:35:10.550
Stop.

00:35:10.550 --> 00:35:11.050
Stop.

00:35:11.050 --> 00:35:12.816
Stop.

00:35:12.816 --> 00:35:15.065
-It didn't work nearly as
well as we thought it would.

00:35:15.065 --> 00:35:15.565
OK.

00:35:15.565 --> 00:35:16.870
So what do you want to do?

00:35:16.870 --> 00:35:18.990
-We make this a natural
termination of it, right?

00:35:18.990 --> 00:35:20.864
NARRATOR: But with
another design review just

00:35:20.864 --> 00:35:24.550
around the corner, the team
is still stuck on the tarp.

00:35:24.550 --> 00:35:26.570
They haven't even
begun to figure out

00:35:26.570 --> 00:35:29.240
how to make a bag that would
store enough water to get

00:35:29.240 --> 00:35:32.810
a Nusa Penida family
through the dry season.

00:35:32.810 --> 00:35:34.470
JIM PATELL: Some
teams spurt ahead.

00:35:34.470 --> 00:35:38.190
Some teams take a while
and then catch up.

00:35:38.190 --> 00:35:40.160
They had a difficult problem.

00:35:40.160 --> 00:35:41.130
OK.

00:35:41.130 --> 00:35:43.170
Bags that will store
thousands of gallons

00:35:43.170 --> 00:35:48.240
of water-- not going to
find that at Walmart.

00:35:48.240 --> 00:35:51.410
We know that as we put the
students in the course,

00:35:51.410 --> 00:35:55.470
there are going to be times when
all the teams are struggling.

00:35:55.470 --> 00:35:57.310
And it's our
responsibility to make sure

00:35:57.310 --> 00:35:58.976
that the whole thing
doesn't fall apart.

00:36:01.700 --> 00:36:03.330
NARRATOR: For help,
the instructors

00:36:03.330 --> 00:36:06.040
go so far as to bring
in a psychologist,

00:36:06.040 --> 00:36:09.790
affectionately known
as the D Shrink

00:36:09.790 --> 00:36:12.460
The hope is to get any
personality issues blocking

00:36:12.460 --> 00:36:15.819
team progress out of the way.

00:36:15.819 --> 00:36:18.152
DURELL COLEMAN: This group
takes a lot of weekend trips.

00:36:18.152 --> 00:36:20.485
And I felt that I personally
have been prototyping a lot

00:36:20.485 --> 00:36:22.530
on weekends whenever other
people have been gone.

00:36:22.530 --> 00:36:26.290
-Durell, sometimes you're
fast to shoot down some ideas.

00:36:26.290 --> 00:36:28.650
-I just wrote, are you
too busy for this class?

00:36:28.650 --> 00:36:30.600
You come in, you're
on your phone.

00:36:30.600 --> 00:36:31.100
-Yeah.

00:36:31.100 --> 00:36:32.475
I guess I just
wish sometimes you

00:36:32.475 --> 00:36:34.770
could get mad if
you're really mad.

00:36:34.770 --> 00:36:37.380
And then we can talk through
and try to figure it out.

00:36:37.380 --> 00:36:39.380
-I wish I had more faith
we're going to succeed.

00:36:39.380 --> 00:36:43.436
I'm pretty convinced that we're
not gonna do anything great.

00:36:43.436 --> 00:36:47.390
We're just gonna have a
prototype and that's it.

00:36:50.770 --> 00:36:52.190
-Everybody-- so come up.

00:36:52.190 --> 00:36:54.091
We got enough chairs.

00:36:54.091 --> 00:36:56.590
NARRATOR: To remind the students
what they might accomplish,

00:36:56.590 --> 00:36:59.800
Patell invites some alumni
to share their stories.

00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:01.750
-This is their
chance to offer you

00:37:01.750 --> 00:37:03.580
some advice from
their experience.

00:37:03.580 --> 00:37:05.360
NARRATOR: One of
them is Jane Chen.

00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:07.430
-It's awesome, the
products out there now.

00:37:07.430 --> 00:37:12.700
A couple days ago, we had a
two-pound baby in the device.

00:37:12.700 --> 00:37:15.210
NARRATOR: She is behind one of
the most successful projects

00:37:15.210 --> 00:37:20.190
to come out of the class,
a start up called Embrace.

00:37:20.190 --> 00:37:21.955
But it didn't happen overnight.

00:37:21.955 --> 00:37:24.760
-We really thought that we
could get the product out

00:37:24.760 --> 00:37:26.205
in three months.

00:37:26.205 --> 00:37:27.840
It was in all our
business plans.

00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:30.320
And now it's three
years later and we just

00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:31.420
got the product out.

00:37:31.420 --> 00:37:34.550
So if you want to do
this, be ready to be

00:37:34.550 --> 00:37:37.317
in it for the long haul,
because ti takes a lot of time.

00:37:43.470 --> 00:37:45.720
NARRATOR: With their final
presentation just two weeks

00:37:45.720 --> 00:37:48.390
away, the teams gear up
for a dress rehearsal.

00:37:54.200 --> 00:37:56.670
They'll need to present the
instructors with a functioning

00:37:56.670 --> 00:37:58.777
device and a clear
business plan.

00:37:58.777 --> 00:38:01.110
PAMELA PAVKOV: And I mean,
if you give me a ton of data,

00:38:01.110 --> 00:38:03.010
I will run a regression on it.

00:38:03.010 --> 00:38:07.020
NARRATOR: But some teams still
haven't hit their stride.

00:38:07.020 --> 00:38:08.300
-Drip-Care?

00:38:08.300 --> 00:38:10.216
-STUDENT: Didn't we say
Drip-Care is a product

00:38:10.216 --> 00:38:12.080
already and trademarked?

00:38:22.940 --> 00:38:24.405
-Problems.

00:38:24.405 --> 00:38:25.030
-Many problems.

00:38:25.030 --> 00:38:29.460
-I propose we start thinking
of different solutions to this.

00:38:32.834 --> 00:38:35.244
JIM PATELL: And my
seated team is where?

00:38:39.316 --> 00:38:41.440
-Carey's going to walk
through the specifics of how

00:38:41.440 --> 00:38:42.427
Inspire works.

00:38:42.427 --> 00:38:44.010
CAREY LEE: The main
element of Inspire

00:38:44.010 --> 00:38:45.720
is this diaphragm
pump that runs off

00:38:45.720 --> 00:38:48.150
of a battery, a
rechargeable battery.

00:38:48.150 --> 00:38:49.990
JIM PATELL: The Inspire
team was starting

00:38:49.990 --> 00:38:52.610
to design a pump from scratch.

00:38:52.610 --> 00:38:55.567
And then they got lucky.

00:38:55.567 --> 00:38:57.150
CAREY LEE: This is
the same technology

00:38:57.150 --> 00:38:58.730
used in the aquarium pumps.

00:38:58.730 --> 00:39:00.680
And we know that aquarium
pumps are designed

00:39:00.680 --> 00:39:02.950
to run 24/7 for a
number of years.

00:39:02.950 --> 00:39:05.236
So this is very
durable technology.

00:39:05.236 --> 00:39:07.360
JIM PATELL: Aquarium pumps--
well, down the street,

00:39:07.360 --> 00:39:09.480
we can get them at a pet shop.

00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:12.020
NARRATOR: This simple
insight has saved Pam's team

00:39:12.020 --> 00:39:14.220
weeks, if not months, of work.

00:39:14.220 --> 00:39:18.410
-At $24, Inspire is the
first low cost CPAP device,

00:39:18.410 --> 00:39:21.685
allowing the doctor to customize
the treatment as is necessary.

00:39:21.685 --> 00:39:24.390
-Ultimately, that will lead
us to a non-human biological

00:39:24.390 --> 00:39:28.290
or animal testing and a
randomized clinical trial.

00:39:28.290 --> 00:39:28.790
Thank you.

00:39:28.790 --> 00:39:29.873
And check out our website.

00:39:32.900 --> 00:39:34.400
PAMELA PAVKOV: We're
really clothes.

00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:36.290
We're really close.

00:39:36.290 --> 00:39:37.520
-It's just presentation now.

00:39:37.520 --> 00:39:38.117
-Yeah.

00:39:38.117 --> 00:39:39.950
-I mean, at this point,
I think we're really

00:39:39.950 --> 00:39:44.040
running for how are we
going to move this forward

00:39:44.040 --> 00:39:45.220
past the class, right?

00:39:45.220 --> 00:39:46.870
So I mean, it's not
even about this--

00:39:46.870 --> 00:39:49.700
NARRATOR: Encouraged by their
momentum, Pam and her teammates

00:39:49.700 --> 00:39:53.634
decide to work on Inspire
full time through the summer.

00:39:53.634 --> 00:39:55.300
PAMELA PAVKOV: It's
not just a start up.

00:39:55.300 --> 00:39:58.750
It's like a whole different
philosophy of rural health

00:39:58.750 --> 00:40:01.890
care for a leading baby killer.

00:40:01.890 --> 00:40:02.429
-Oh, yeah.

00:40:02.429 --> 00:40:03.345
-That's kind of crazy.

00:40:05.970 --> 00:40:09.670
-We have a couple just examples
of what a simple interface

00:40:09.670 --> 00:40:11.350
might look like,
stripping it down

00:40:11.350 --> 00:40:16.920
to just bare essential features.

00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:19.080
So we're going to show
you a quick video of how

00:40:19.080 --> 00:40:20.515
this thing actually works.

00:40:26.630 --> 00:40:28.430
Technical difficulties--
bare with us.

00:40:36.845 --> 00:40:37.850
OK.

00:40:37.850 --> 00:40:39.840
So it's, I think,
actually really

00:40:39.840 --> 00:40:41.340
difficult to see
with the life here.

00:40:41.340 --> 00:40:45.060
But what's happening
is the device

00:40:45.060 --> 00:40:46.850
counts drops with
the optical sensor.

00:40:46.850 --> 00:40:50.400
And we'll zoom in in a second.

00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:55.830
And you will actually see
the drops start, maybe.

00:40:55.830 --> 00:40:57.595
But you can see the
motor's turning.

00:40:57.595 --> 00:41:02.252
The tube gets clamped,
and the motor stops.

00:41:02.252 --> 00:41:04.460
NARRATOR: While the infusion
team presents a business

00:41:04.460 --> 00:41:08.704
plan that's persuasive,
their device still is not.

00:41:08.704 --> 00:41:10.620
DAVID BEACH: And the
other thing I want to see

00:41:10.620 --> 00:41:13.280
is I want to see the
rate of change-- change.

00:41:13.280 --> 00:41:15.280
So I want to see drops
going by about like this,

00:41:15.280 --> 00:41:17.680
or like this, whatever.

00:41:17.680 --> 00:41:19.570
NARRATOR: What's missing
from their prototype

00:41:19.570 --> 00:41:21.930
are the electronics
or intelligence

00:41:21.930 --> 00:41:25.032
that make all the
parts work together.

00:41:25.032 --> 00:41:26.990
SETH NORMAN: We were
calling it the bimbo pump.

00:41:26.990 --> 00:41:28.900
Looked great, felt great,
didn't do anything,

00:41:28.900 --> 00:41:30.890
didn't work, had
no intelligence.

00:41:30.890 --> 00:41:31.950
That was distressing.

00:41:31.950 --> 00:41:33.230
I mean, it was embarrassing.

00:41:33.230 --> 00:41:35.630
And it just wasn't
where we wanted

00:41:35.630 --> 00:41:37.390
to be that close to the end.

00:41:37.390 --> 00:41:43.360
-I gotta go

00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:44.560
-It's getting personal.

00:41:52.500 --> 00:41:54.760
-How about this idea--
what if you just cut off

00:41:54.760 --> 00:41:57.205
the bottom of the bucket,
just a straight cut

00:41:57.205 --> 00:42:00.160
right here, and then turn
it upside down so this part

00:42:00.160 --> 00:42:01.090
is on the inside?

00:42:01.090 --> 00:42:02.670
-What do you think about that?

00:42:02.670 --> 00:42:03.325
-I like that.

00:42:03.325 --> 00:42:04.702
-Does that sound reasonable?

00:42:04.702 --> 00:42:05.910
-Yeah, I definitely think so.

00:42:05.910 --> 00:42:06.410
-OK.

00:42:06.410 --> 00:42:08.870
-I just wonder, is this going
to be hidden inside the box

00:42:08.870 --> 00:42:11.200
entirely so that users
aren't going to see it?

00:42:11.200 --> 00:42:11.970
-Is it?

00:42:11.970 --> 00:42:12.650
-Right.

00:42:12.650 --> 00:42:13.720
This is what we're--

00:42:13.720 --> 00:42:16.350
-I'm saying, design it.

00:42:16.350 --> 00:42:16.850
-Right.

00:42:16.850 --> 00:42:17.808
So I think we need to--

00:42:17.808 --> 00:42:19.440
-We haven't designed it yet.

00:42:19.440 --> 00:42:21.170
So it could be whatever
we want it to be.

00:42:21.170 --> 00:42:22.280
-See, here's my thing.

00:42:22.280 --> 00:42:26.049
I don't think there's
much point designing--

00:42:26.049 --> 00:42:26.590
-[INAUDIBLE].

00:42:26.590 --> 00:42:27.089
-No, no.

00:42:27.089 --> 00:42:28.354
Just listen.

00:42:28.354 --> 00:42:31.480
Let me finish, right?

00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:34.370
NARRATOR: Having finished with
the rest of the presentation,

00:42:34.370 --> 00:42:37.270
Chris's teammates try to
help with the device itself.

00:42:37.270 --> 00:42:38.910
MATT TILLEARD: Let's not build
them in isolation, right?

00:42:38.910 --> 00:42:39.890
It doesn't match up with this.

00:42:39.890 --> 00:42:40.510
-I'm not talking
about building it,

00:42:40.510 --> 00:42:42.590
but you guys can start
on the design of it.

00:42:42.590 --> 00:42:43.940
-Yeah.

00:42:43.940 --> 00:42:46.800
NARRATOR: But with Chris making
all the engineering decisions,

00:42:46.800 --> 00:42:48.955
there is little they can
do to speed things up.

00:42:56.455 --> 00:42:59.390
CHRIS STIVERS: It's not that I
have to have control over it.

00:42:59.390 --> 00:43:01.780
It's just I've set a
certain bar for our team.

00:43:01.780 --> 00:43:03.070
I think we all have.

00:43:03.070 --> 00:43:07.029
And to meet those
expectations, that's

00:43:07.029 --> 00:43:08.070
the most important thing.

00:43:08.070 --> 00:43:09.830
I don't care who does it.

00:43:09.830 --> 00:43:12.150
It doesn't have to be me.

00:43:12.150 --> 00:43:14.420
If somebody doesn't have
the skills to do something

00:43:14.420 --> 00:43:16.720
to that level of quality,
then they shouldn't do it.

00:43:20.060 --> 00:43:22.540
NARRATOR: With just four
days until their deadline,

00:43:22.540 --> 00:43:26.710
Seth decides to intervene.

00:43:26.710 --> 00:43:30.100
SETH NORMAN: I basically just
said I'm not doing my job.

00:43:30.100 --> 00:43:32.195
I'm not doing what
I came here to do.

00:43:32.195 --> 00:43:34.500
So you go back into
platoon leader mode, right?

00:43:39.120 --> 00:43:40.590
NARRATOR: To allow
Chris to focus

00:43:40.590 --> 00:43:42.630
on the electronics
of the device,

00:43:42.630 --> 00:43:45.370
the others takeover
work on its housing

00:43:45.370 --> 00:43:47.440
with the help of TAs in the lab.

00:43:47.440 --> 00:43:49.727
-It'll want to cut fast

00:43:49.727 --> 00:43:51.560
SETH NORMAN: The issue
is trust and control.

00:43:51.560 --> 00:43:54.200
And I think it was hard
to push Chris a little bit

00:43:54.200 --> 00:43:57.069
and say that he's going to
have to let some of this go.

00:43:57.069 --> 00:43:59.110
And we're going prove that
we can take this piece

00:43:59.110 --> 00:44:00.860
and get it done.

00:44:00.860 --> 00:44:03.650
It was just time to say
we are building this now.

00:44:12.560 --> 00:44:15.930
NARRATOR: Three days later,
Seth, Matt, and Kevin

00:44:15.930 --> 00:44:17.780
have finished the housing.

00:44:17.780 --> 00:44:20.880
SETH NORMAN: Time is 1136 hours.

00:44:20.880 --> 00:44:26.764
That means approximately
48 hours till go time.

00:44:26.764 --> 00:44:28.180
NARRATOR: Now,
they wait for Chris

00:44:28.180 --> 00:44:30.750
to bring the rest of parts.

00:44:30.750 --> 00:44:33.002
He's been given a
1 o'clock deadline.

00:44:33.002 --> 00:44:35.002
KEVIN CHI: We kind of
want to start testing this

00:44:35.002 --> 00:44:35.964
as soon as we can.

00:44:35.964 --> 00:44:38.380
SETH NORMAN: When we go over
there, can we drill those in?

00:44:38.380 --> 00:44:39.580
-He's going home.

00:44:39.580 --> 00:44:40.320
SETH NORMAN: Why?

00:44:40.320 --> 00:44:40.990
-To get his car.

00:44:40.990 --> 00:44:43.000
-Why does he need his car?

00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:44.425
KEVIN CHI: I don't know.

00:44:44.425 --> 00:44:45.090
-It doesn't make any sense.

00:44:45.090 --> 00:44:47.423
KEVIN CHI: He needs to shower
and he's going to go home.

00:44:47.423 --> 00:44:48.010
-We all-- no.

00:44:48.010 --> 00:44:48.330
OK.

00:44:48.330 --> 00:44:48.650
OK.

00:44:48.650 --> 00:44:50.470
MATT TILLEARD: We just need
to-- I just want to test it.

00:44:50.470 --> 00:44:52.110
You need to see if
it works tonight.

00:44:52.110 --> 00:44:54.224
So let's set a time and meet.

00:44:54.224 --> 00:44:55.110
That's cool.

00:44:55.110 --> 00:44:56.294
-What is going on here?

00:44:56.294 --> 00:44:58.210
SETH NORMAN: This was
gonna be the final push.

00:44:58.210 --> 00:45:00.168
We were going to assemble
it one way or another

00:45:00.168 --> 00:45:01.065
and be done with it.

00:45:01.065 --> 00:45:02.440
And to get there
and not have him

00:45:02.440 --> 00:45:05.380
be there-- there's no
way to-- at this moment,

00:45:05.380 --> 00:45:06.400
I was feeling rage.

00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:08.635
And then at this moment,
I was feeling fear.

00:45:08.635 --> 00:45:10.510
And then at this moment,
it was rage and fear

00:45:10.510 --> 00:45:11.390
inflicted upon him.

00:45:11.390 --> 00:45:13.090
And I don't remember.

00:45:13.090 --> 00:45:14.265
It just was like this blur.

00:45:17.370 --> 00:45:19.420
NARRATOR: Rather than
wait, Seth and Matt

00:45:19.420 --> 00:45:22.730
track down Chris
to wrap things up.

00:45:22.730 --> 00:45:25.140
-Everything as it should be.

00:45:25.140 --> 00:45:26.520
-What?

00:45:26.520 --> 00:45:28.970
Why'd you cut off the
leads to the LEDs?

00:45:28.970 --> 00:45:32.064
-Because they're
stupid and I hate them.

00:45:32.064 --> 00:45:32.730
-What are these?

00:45:32.730 --> 00:45:34.700
-Those are screws I put in them.

00:45:34.700 --> 00:45:36.125
-These aren't the right screws.

00:45:36.125 --> 00:45:39.619
-You start doing that and
start drilling holes in this.

00:45:39.619 --> 00:45:40.910
-I'm gonna be here late enough.

00:45:40.910 --> 00:45:42.830
I'll drill holes on my own time.

00:45:42.830 --> 00:45:43.636
-No, no.

00:45:43.636 --> 00:45:44.885
We don't want to be here late.

00:45:44.885 --> 00:45:46.005
-You guys leave.

00:45:46.005 --> 00:45:46.730
-No, that's--

00:45:46.730 --> 00:45:47.400
SETH NORMAN: No, we're
gonna finish this.

00:45:47.400 --> 00:45:48.566
-We want to finish this guy.

00:45:48.566 --> 00:45:51.310
Is this stuff that
we can help with?

00:45:51.310 --> 00:45:52.210
-Probably not.

00:45:52.210 --> 00:45:54.090
MATT TILLEARD: I
really want to just see

00:45:54.090 --> 00:45:55.960
this thing working,
because otherwise, we're

00:45:55.960 --> 00:45:57.940
in some serious panic.

00:45:57.940 --> 00:46:00.430
CHRIS STIVERS: It works
outside of the case.

00:46:00.430 --> 00:46:03.440
-But the main uncertainty for me
is we take this out and we put

00:46:03.440 --> 00:46:03.995
in here and--

00:46:03.995 --> 00:46:04.870
-And it doesn't work.

00:46:04.870 --> 00:46:05.100
-It makes me nervous.

00:46:05.100 --> 00:46:05.600
-Yeah.

00:46:05.600 --> 00:46:06.470
It might not work.

00:46:06.470 --> 00:46:08.570
I'm not-- that's why--
that's why part's

00:46:08.570 --> 00:46:10.240
gonna take me a while--
putting everything in there

00:46:10.240 --> 00:46:11.573
nicely and making sure it works.

00:46:11.573 --> 00:46:13.550
And I want to eat some
dinner pretty soon.

00:46:13.550 --> 00:46:16.008
-All right-- so it makes you
nervous to wait till tomorrow,

00:46:16.008 --> 00:46:18.790
but if that's like--
what do you think?

00:46:18.790 --> 00:46:20.040
-I think it's a terrible idea.

00:46:20.040 --> 00:46:21.330
I think we should
finish it tonight.

00:46:21.330 --> 00:46:21.980
-Yeah.

00:46:21.980 --> 00:46:24.354
My relationship with Seth was,
you could call it complex.

00:46:24.354 --> 00:46:25.690
You could call it love-hate.

00:46:25.690 --> 00:46:28.090
I definitely got
frustrated with him.

00:46:28.090 --> 00:46:30.080
-I just don't know
what happened.

00:46:30.080 --> 00:46:32.100
Every day, I woke up
thinking, this is a day.

00:46:32.100 --> 00:46:33.080
This is the last piece.

00:46:33.080 --> 00:46:33.750
We have plenty of time.

00:46:33.750 --> 00:46:34.380
We're gonna do fine.

00:46:34.380 --> 00:46:36.050
And then every day,
the sun went down

00:46:36.050 --> 00:46:37.450
and we hadn't made any movement.

00:46:47.050 --> 00:46:48.950
NARRATOR: The next
morning, Seth arrives

00:46:48.950 --> 00:46:52.650
to find the device still
has not been tested.

00:46:52.650 --> 00:46:55.980
He learns that instead, Chris
spent part of the night redoing

00:46:55.980 --> 00:46:59.370
the housing Seth and
the others had made.

00:46:59.370 --> 00:47:02.540
-We need to test it
in the housing in all

00:47:02.540 --> 00:47:05.260
of its components tied
together for the first time.

00:47:05.260 --> 00:47:08.880
And now, I mean, it should work.

00:47:08.880 --> 00:47:09.987
We just gotta see it.

00:47:09.987 --> 00:47:11.695
CHRIS STIVER: I like
how you can actually

00:47:11.695 --> 00:47:14.940
see the light toggle
when it drips.

00:47:14.940 --> 00:47:17.660
NARRATOR: Chris has one
last chance to deliver.

00:47:20.315 --> 00:47:22.810
CHRIS STIVERS: Well, now
let's find out if it works.

00:47:22.810 --> 00:47:26.090
NARRATOR: If it doesn't, Seth
has lined up other engineers

00:47:26.090 --> 00:47:27.850
to take over.

00:47:27.850 --> 00:47:30.410
SETH NORMAN: Have you
already started it up?

00:47:30.410 --> 00:47:32.177
-It's dripping.

00:47:32.177 --> 00:47:33.010
-All right, sweetie.

00:47:33.010 --> 00:47:33.870
We need this.

00:47:33.870 --> 00:47:35.080
CHRIS STIVERS: It should
start humming right away.

00:47:35.080 --> 00:47:36.540
SETH NORMAN: There we go.

00:47:36.540 --> 00:47:38.120
CHRIS STIVERS: It's humming,
but it's not doing anything.

00:47:38.120 --> 00:47:39.130
So what that means--

00:47:39.130 --> 00:47:39.870
SETH NORMAN: It's talking.

00:47:39.870 --> 00:47:41.244
CHRIS STIVERS:
What that means is

00:47:41.244 --> 00:47:44.450
there's probably
some loose wires.

00:47:44.450 --> 00:47:45.410
Dammit.

00:47:45.410 --> 00:47:46.410
-You're doing good, man.

00:47:46.410 --> 00:47:47.390
Just keep going.

00:48:12.458 --> 00:48:15.440
CHRIS STIVERS: So
there's no signal here.

00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:17.860
Coming up to the
deadline, I'd say

00:48:17.860 --> 00:48:21.010
I felt like I was being
pushed right up to my limits.

00:48:21.010 --> 00:48:21.890
Dammit.

00:48:21.890 --> 00:48:25.243
This [BLEEP] is so frustrating.

00:48:25.243 --> 00:48:27.380
This piece of [BLEEP] wire.

00:48:27.380 --> 00:48:29.865
This is thing is
not making contact.

00:48:29.865 --> 00:48:31.853
This piece of [BLEEP].

00:48:31.853 --> 00:48:33.091
Can we get Allen wrenches?

00:48:33.091 --> 00:48:33.841
SETH NORMAN: Yeah.

00:48:40.799 --> 00:48:43.210
What it came down
to was, by the end,

00:48:43.210 --> 00:48:46.064
just sitting there with
Chris and just being there.

00:48:46.064 --> 00:48:47.855
If he needed something,
we went and got it.

00:48:47.855 --> 00:48:50.215
If he-- whatever,
we just were there.

00:48:50.215 --> 00:48:51.440
-Yes!

00:48:51.440 --> 00:48:53.738
Except it's backwards.

00:48:53.738 --> 00:48:55.989
-OK.

00:48:55.989 --> 00:48:57.030
-Are we happy or unhappy?

00:48:59.560 --> 00:49:00.910
-[BLEEP] 298!

00:49:00.910 --> 00:49:02.475
Oh, my god.

00:49:02.475 --> 00:49:03.522
-What's going on?

00:49:03.522 --> 00:49:04.340
-I don't know.

00:49:04.340 --> 00:49:06.510
Things just-- I don't if
we're happy or unhappy.

00:49:06.510 --> 00:49:09.100
I heard [BLEEP]-- yes,
but it's backwards?

00:49:09.100 --> 00:49:10.940
-It's working, which is awesome.

00:49:10.940 --> 00:49:14.892
The problem was a broken chip or
something wrong with this chip.

00:49:14.892 --> 00:49:17.350
SETH NORMAN: Then all of the
sudden, he ran the right wires

00:49:17.350 --> 00:49:18.157
and it worked.

00:49:18.157 --> 00:49:19.240
And I just don't know why.

00:49:19.240 --> 00:49:22.800
It's magic to me, right?

00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:23.560
Here goes.

00:49:23.560 --> 00:49:24.870
It's doing it.

00:49:27.696 --> 00:49:29.706
I don't even know what
to do at this moment--

00:49:29.706 --> 00:49:31.262
that it actually--

00:49:31.262 --> 00:49:31.970
-I would kiss me.

00:49:36.400 --> 00:49:37.115
-Good work, man.

00:49:37.115 --> 00:49:37.614
-Dude.

00:49:37.614 --> 00:49:38.542
Dude.

00:49:38.542 --> 00:49:39.934
Good job.

00:49:39.934 --> 00:49:41.790
Good job.

00:49:41.790 --> 00:49:42.749
It works.

00:49:42.749 --> 00:49:43.747
It works.

00:49:43.747 --> 00:49:45.244
-Just in time.

00:49:57.740 --> 00:50:00.340
NARRATOR: In the last two
weeks, Pam and her team

00:50:00.340 --> 00:50:02.800
have streamlined their
prototype and polished

00:50:02.800 --> 00:50:05.470
their presentation.

00:50:05.470 --> 00:50:11.570
-Without oxygen, there's
no treatment-- or is there?

00:50:11.570 --> 00:50:15.604
Introducing Inspire, a low
cost breathing assist device.

00:50:15.604 --> 00:50:17.020
PAMELA PAVKOV: I
think we probably

00:50:17.020 --> 00:50:19.382
made it look easier than it was.

00:50:19.382 --> 00:50:20.840
I think there were
a lot of moments

00:50:20.840 --> 00:50:23.380
where we were tearing our hair
out and wanting to throttle

00:50:23.380 --> 00:50:25.340
each other for a
whole host of reasons.

00:50:25.340 --> 00:50:30.460
But it's just one step
in a long journey.

00:50:30.460 --> 00:50:34.850
NARRATOR: The Indonesia team
has pulled together, too.

00:50:34.850 --> 00:50:37.560
-The FlexiTangki is an
all-in-one solution.

00:50:37.560 --> 00:50:40.602
It includes rainwater
catchment as well as storage.

00:50:40.602 --> 00:50:42.560
DURELL COLEMAN: I think
we've created something

00:50:42.560 --> 00:50:46.670
that is the start of a
really good solution.

00:50:46.670 --> 00:50:48.340
I don't know that
I would consider

00:50:48.340 --> 00:50:51.360
what I've done to have
changed the world.

00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:55.450
But I would like to continue
to strive towards that.

00:50:55.450 --> 00:50:56.980
That will always be my goal.

00:50:56.980 --> 00:50:57.960
-Good job, man.

00:50:57.960 --> 00:50:59.920
-It's a long time coming.

00:50:59.920 --> 00:51:02.810
-So I would like to take you
through a little demonstration

00:51:02.810 --> 00:51:04.419
of our device in action.

00:51:04.419 --> 00:51:05.960
SETH NORMAN: I get
into these moments

00:51:05.960 --> 00:51:09.360
where I don't want
to explore and debate

00:51:09.360 --> 00:51:10.800
and go back and forth anymore.

00:51:10.800 --> 00:51:14.370
I want to just identify
our solution and go.

00:51:14.370 --> 00:51:16.745
But maybe within
the design team,

00:51:16.745 --> 00:51:18.264
the process needs
people like me.

00:51:18.264 --> 00:51:19.930
But then it also needs
people like Chris

00:51:19.930 --> 00:51:22.160
who are constantly going
back and looking over again.

00:51:22.160 --> 00:51:24.890
So I have a new respect
for a different way

00:51:24.890 --> 00:51:26.970
of looking at teamwork
and solving problems.

00:51:31.730 --> 00:51:33.480
WOMAN: So by the
power invested in us

00:51:33.480 --> 00:51:35.210
by other wayward
thinkers and doers,

00:51:35.210 --> 00:51:37.810
we now pronounce you to be
design thinkers and members

00:51:37.810 --> 00:51:39.980
of the extreme
affordability family.

00:51:39.980 --> 00:51:41.250
Go forth and innovate.

00:51:41.250 --> 00:51:43.680
Be human-centered,
prototype-driven, and mindful

00:51:43.680 --> 00:51:45.160
of your process.

00:51:45.160 --> 00:51:46.850
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]

00:51:56.357 --> 00:51:58.190
SETH NORMAN: We proved
that this idea works.

00:51:58.190 --> 00:52:00.370
And we made a really
nice prototype

00:52:00.370 --> 00:52:03.650
and a great presentation and
a fantastic business plan.

00:52:03.650 --> 00:52:07.290
But then I mean, we literally
have not helped person one yet.

00:52:10.410 --> 00:52:13.450
The concept works great, and it
could be a huge game changer.

00:52:13.450 --> 00:52:15.740
But are we going to be
able to get it to market?

00:52:15.740 --> 00:52:18.100
That's where the real next
couple years of work come in.

00:52:18.100 --> 00:52:20.740
And that's where it's
hazier and harder.

00:52:26.960 --> 00:52:28.060
-I'm [INAUDIBLE].

00:52:28.060 --> 00:52:30.040
NARRATOR: The breathing
device students

00:52:30.040 --> 00:52:33.110
return to Bangladesh to show
hospital staff their working

00:52:33.110 --> 00:52:36.370
prototypes and get
a warm reception.

00:52:36.370 --> 00:52:37.750
DOCTOR: It's a
really nice system

00:52:37.750 --> 00:52:39.280
that you have brought out.

00:52:39.280 --> 00:52:42.597
I hope you continue
working on this line.

00:52:42.597 --> 00:52:44.305
We are waiting for
exciting developments.

00:52:47.710 --> 00:52:49.660
-You would think that
my reaction would

00:52:49.660 --> 00:52:53.150
be joy and excitement
and hooray, we did it!

00:52:53.150 --> 00:52:56.226
I think it was the
exact opposite.

00:52:56.226 --> 00:52:59.180
We have to do so many
things to our prototype.

00:52:59.180 --> 00:53:00.275
I It's going take so long.

00:53:10.960 --> 00:53:13.850
PAMELA PAVKOV: My team and I
have had good conversations.

00:53:13.850 --> 00:53:16.680
And the reality
is that none of us

00:53:16.680 --> 00:53:20.110
really feel like we can
drive this full time.

00:53:23.742 --> 00:53:24.650
That looks good.

00:53:24.650 --> 00:53:25.850
That looks good.

00:53:25.850 --> 00:53:28.830
NARRATOR: Only a small fraction
of first time entrepreneurs

00:53:28.830 --> 00:53:30.800
actually succeed.

00:53:30.800 --> 00:53:34.660
But of the 70 projects done
so far by Extreme teams,

00:53:34.660 --> 00:53:40.170
one third are still alive,
many in the hands of partners.

00:53:40.170 --> 00:53:41.920
PAMELA PAVKOV: And so
we're in the process

00:53:41.920 --> 00:53:46.580
of trying to find a strategic
partner to effectively hand off

00:53:46.580 --> 00:53:49.480
the technology to so
that they can continue

00:53:49.480 --> 00:53:51.250
to drive the innovation forward.

00:54:00.200 --> 00:54:02.940
JIM PATELL: It's not
just about startups.

00:54:02.940 --> 00:54:06.800
The Inspire team made
a tough decision.

00:54:06.800 --> 00:54:08.990
But ultimately,
everything they achieved

00:54:08.990 --> 00:54:11.330
will go to somebody else
who's in a better position

00:54:11.330 --> 00:54:12.520
to take it forward.

00:54:12.520 --> 00:54:19.400
And babies with pneumonia
will survive without damage.

00:54:19.400 --> 00:54:21.830
I want students to come out
of here with the attitude

00:54:21.830 --> 00:54:27.450
that they can get dropped
down into a messy, often

00:54:27.450 --> 00:54:30.850
heart-rendingly
difficult situation,

00:54:30.850 --> 00:54:33.700
and they can figure out a
way to make them better.

00:54:33.700 --> 00:54:35.250
And they can do that on demand.

00:55:25.592 --> 00:55:27.050
ANNOUNCER: Funding
for this program

00:55:27.050 --> 00:55:32.780
