About the solution
The towel works by having the users easily slide their hand into the straps so that no use of gripping muscles is required. The straps are placed strategically so that the person can dry different parts of the body. The product is machine-washable.
Danica first drew the sketches of the prototype and then showcased her idea. She had help from teachers and volunteers from the Young Entrepeneurs Academy, and went to a local seamstress in order to get advice on what type of materials to use for the prototype.
Afterwords, the student got funding from investors. "We pitched our businesses to them and they went and decided who they wanted to give startup funds to and there were 19 businesses and only nine got funded and I won the investor panel," the inventor said. Danica’s business is now registered in the state of Idaho.
Her solution can be bought online for 22 USD.
