What We Do Stanford's Entrepreneurial Design for Extreme Affordability (EDEA) class is a two-quarter class offered jointly by the School of Engineering and the Graduate School of Business. Students apply engineering and business skills to design comprehensive solutions for a specific challenge faced by the world’s poor. Students work with in-country partners to develop and refine their products. In 2008, we will finance prototype development for two teams from the 2007 course:
In addition to providing grants for these two initiatives, we encourage classmates to support funded and future EDEA project teams by attending design review sessions, providing pro-bono consulting and contacts in finance and other areas of expertise, serving on boards of directors and mentoring students as they bring their products to market.

InfiniCAN (IDE Water Storage and Irrigation System): a 200-gallon water storage device designed to be used with a hose and spout to provide irrigation systems for Myanmar farmers. This device will save hundreds of hours over the growing season by eliminating the need to hand-water crops with watering cans.
Pump It Up (IDE 50/50 Deep Lift Pump): a simple piston pump with a target depth of 50 feet and flow rate of 500 gph that will retail for less than $50. This pump will enable farmers to grow crops in both the dry and wet seasons in Myanmar.
