Help design an anti-viral wearable for businesses to operate safely.
Mission Possible
Businesses like eateries, retail stores, and gyms are starting to re-open. New technnologies and fabrics are showing promise to effectively combat viruses. Create a wearable item that is resistant against the virus, allows workers and customers to operate safely, and looks great on the floor.

The Opportunity
Many businesses are beginning to re-open and are in need of new ways to provide a safe environment for their workers and customers. Currently, masks and gloves are the main line of defense. However, there is an opportunity to invent a new line of wearables that offer maximum protection and make the customer feel confident shopping at the stores they love.
-
Your Mission
Your team should identify a small business that could benefit from using an anti-viral wearable product. The wearable must be comfortable, easy to put on and take off, easy to clean or wash, can show the name and logo of the business, and look modern and professional.
-
Team Deliverables
- A drawing or visualization of the wearable item.
- A brief write-up of what the product is, how it resists or is anti-viral, and how it will benefit them and their customers.
