Her hypothesis stated, If traditional sippy cups promote tooth decay in toddlers, then why do parents still give sippy cups to their children. eliminated this problem through the design of her lid. used a 3-D print machine where her 3rd prototype was made. reached goals of a designed cup eliminated tooth decay through sippy cups while maintaining a sleek and light design. Overall, her cup was a success in decreasing tooth decay in toddlers while having a snack and drinkable cup for toddlers.
