Your creativity can save a life! Win $1000 for your design.


Participate NOW through March 6, 2014.

February 6, 2014 marked the official launch of the Penn Defibrillator Design Challenge, a nationwide contest that uses public art and design to raise awareness about Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs).
  • AEDs are devices that shock the heart back to life during cardiac arrest.
  • They are easy to apply and anyone can use them.
  • Unfortunately, AEDs are sometimes hard to find.
The Challenge aims to make AEDs more visible and memorable so more people will use them in an emergency. We need your help!
