For this activity, choose one person and read all about them.

On your blog, provide us with:

1. The name of the person
2. A description of the work they do/have done
3. An explanation of how they/their work has had an impact on the lives of others

1. Keith Alexander

2. Keith and a few of his graduate students created a spring-free trampoline in 1987 because his wife is scared their kids might get injured from the springs. He created a trampoline without springs that pinches you, instead of springs, Keith is also a engineer, Keith decided to use rods as springs that don't hurt you and that are diagonally from the metal frame and it supports a mat underneath so that anyone bouncing on it can't land between the springs and hit the frame. They aren't sure if it still shocks you when getting of the trampoline on a hot day. 

3. By creating a trampoline with no springs, Keith has definitely inspired parents to buy the spring-free trampoline. I feel like the parents have brought the trampoline because they want their kids to be safe and don't get pinched by the metal springs.
