Five winners have been selected in Toyota’s nationwide “Ideas for Good” Challenge. This program invited consumers to develop new ways to use innovative Toyota technologies to improve the world around them. As your local Coral Springs Toyota dealer, Toyota of Deerfield Beach, we are proud to announce the winners that were selected by popular vote. All winners’ submissions were taken from concept to reality by Toyota, Carnegie Mellon University and Deeplocal experts through a quick prototyping session in June.

• Pure Air submitted by Tim W.:Using the Solar Powered Ventilation System, this idea proposes a way to draw smoke from huts in developing nations, ultimately providing improved health conditions in an environmentally-friendly way.
• Building a Better Bike Helmet submitted by Stu S.:Inspired by T.H.U.M.S., this idea uses Toyota’s technology to assess the strengths and weaknesses of current bicycle helmets and improves upon these designs to protect riders from traumatic brain injuries.
• Power Plant Gym submitted by Birken S.:This idea was inspired by Toyota HSD technology to convert the energy exerted at a gym into electricity. Connecting exercise equipment to a system of resistance cords and turbines, users would put electricity back into their local power grid simply by working out.
• Touch Tracer Mouse, Keyboard & Monitor submitted by David C.:By integrating Toyota’s Touch Tracer Display into a computer mouse, keyboard and monitor all in one place, this idea allows users to easily toggle between the mouse, keyboard and numerical pad while the heads-up display shows them exactly where their fingers are in relation to the keys.
• Automated Firefighting Extension Ladder Guidance System submitted by Fran O.: This idea uses the Advanced Parking Guidance System to increase efficiency and precision in emergency situations, reduce risk and decrease the amount of time it takes to accurately position a firefighting ladder.

As your leading Toyota dealer in Coral Springs, we believe that innovation drives the future. We would like to thank all of the participants who contributed these revolutionary ideas and concepts, and we look forward to other challenges from Toyota in the future. Toyota of Deerfield Beach encourages you to think outside the box and develop your personal skills and talents to the fullest!
