|
The Lemelson Center and InventEd will present a conversation with Shawn Springs, former NFL player and the CEO and Founder of Windpact, a Software and Technology company. After surviving a serious car crash, Spring was inspired to found Windpact, convinced that car safety technologies could protect athletes. Working to improve the technology for helmets, Windpact invented Crash Cloud technology to protect the brain by absorbing collision energy. The technology is now used in sports, the military, construction, and automotive industries.
