My Project

Having this tool in my classroom will make everyone safer because it will enable me to help my students efficiently and effectively in the event of a choking incident. I have not been trained in the Heimlich maneuver for over a decade, and in a high-stress situation such as a choking event, having the LifeVac would enable me to act swiftly to save my students.

It’s important that teachers have the tools to provide life-saving measures if a student should need them.

That is why I am asking for help with this project.
