Chill Mate Solar Station
UCF Senior Design Group 7


Our Mission

Our initial discussion of project ideas led us to an audio output device. We were all interested in the design challenges of speakers and sound clarity. After communicating as a group, we collectively discovered enjoyment in relaxing on the beach‚ which pushed our ideas toward a speaker system that could be used while spending time in places with no electricity.

We decided we would make a cooler that would provide features like no other cooler on the market. Products similar to the one we are proposing do exist in the marketplace already, however our goal is to improve and innovate upon these existing ideas. The thought process became about packing as many utilities into this cooler like speakers that source music from the user’s phone‚ USB’s for connectivity and charging, a temperature sensor for the cooler’s compartment‚ display panel to show status of the features included‚ and durable batteries to last for hours of fun in the outdoors that can be either charged at home or during use by on-board solar panels.
