Alexis often enters competitions for young inventors. When she was younger she spent time with her grandfather, who made transport for people to go to space. One day Alexis’ mother told her about a newspaper article which explained how difficult it was to get sick people through the countryside to hospital in Africa. Alexis wanted to help.

Alexis knew that in North America, before there were cars, horses pulled heavy things on a travois(舊式雪橇) made of wood. Alexis thought people could do the same, but she added wheels. To make her travois light, she used bamboo, a plant which grows in Africa, not wood.
