They prepared three types of pizzas while talking about the inventions they took to the Georgia Tech competition.Those included a bulletproof vest designed specifically for female police officers, a wireless vital-signs monitoring device for elderly patients that alerts caregivers to abnormal readings, a dental floss guard to make flossing teeth easier, and an extension cord and power outlet combination that reduces the number of electrical outlets needed in a home.
