Susana Cappello, Carolina Baigorri and Victoria Roca are three high school teens whose innovative product, “Smart Straws,” is changing the game in preventing date rape and sexual assault.
The three girls participated in the Miami Herald’s Business Plan Challenge which prompted them to become entrepreneurs of a concept or product.
Their winning concept, Smart Straws, are designed to detect smallest amounts of the most common date rape drugs such as roofies (Rohypnol), GHB (gamma hydroxybutyric acid) and Ketamine, which are “overwhelmingly the most common club drugs” used on women.
