The Students and the Challenge
Ron and Bill recruited the perfect mask development partner: Luminosity Lab at Arizona State University. This interdisciplinary research and development lab of hand-picked and top-performing students develops novel solutions to the world’s most pressing problems.
Team Luminosity Lab took the challenge and went to work. Serendipity manifested itself in the form of the XPRIZE Challenge at the most opportune moment. This elite team of young technologists entered this mask design into the XPRIZE Foundation’s Next-Gen Mask Challenge. XPRIZE is the global leader in solving the world’s grand challenges by creating and managing large-scale competitions that challenge industries to innovate and dare the broader scientific community to overcome conventional thinking.
Of 1,000 teams, from 76 countries, AirFloe Mask advanced to the top 10 semi-finals round. That’s quite an honor—and testament to the efficacy of the AirFloe Mask.
