Maggie Brown is a University Innovation Fellows Fellow at Wichita State University. She is a sophomore studying Aerospace Engineering with a minor in Mathematics. Since she was young, Maggie has shown an interest in space exploration and travel. This interest lead her to wanting to become an engineer and later introduced her to design thinking.
Maggie first found an interest in using design thinking during her first semester at Wichita State when she took the freshman seminar Introduction to Technology and Innovation. This course came with the requirement to use the design thinking process, which was taught in class, to come up with a product. She and her team created a revolutionary doorstop called Lyfelock that was created as an extra barrier to be put in place during an emergent hostile situation in a school setting. The team was one of the five teams to qualify for the final round of the Koch Innovation Challenge. In the end, Lyfelock won the People’s Choice award.
