Now Accepting Submissions for Season 2 Set
to Air in 2017
Team Grush was voted the winner and awarded a $1 million prize
on tonight’s season 1 finale of the tech reality TV challenge
America’s Greatest Makers. All three members of Team Grush are
parents and invented the interactive digital toothbrush based on
their experiences of trying to get their kids to brush. The
invention transforms teeth brushing into a series of fun and
virtual games, entertaining and motivating children while allowing
adults to digitally track brushing habits. Grush beat 23 other
teams with inventions in areas as diverse as healthcare, sports and
fashion – all built on Intel technology. America’s Greatest Makers
is produced by MGM Television with Emmy®-winning producer Mark
Burnett (Survivor, Shark Tank, The Voice) serving as executive
producer. MGM is the international distributor and the show is
broadcast on TBS.

Boston-based mom and pediatric dentist, Dr. Anubha Sacheti,
comments, “As a dentist, I have been committed to preventing tooth
decay, a common chronic disease among children. As a mother, I
wanted to help end the ‘battle in the bathroom’ over brushing. This
dream is now a reality, as soon as Grush will be available in
America.” The winning team also includes San Francisco-based
entrepreneur Ethan Schur and inventor Yongjing Wang.
Intel and Burnett, president of MGM Television and Digital
Group, confirmed a second season of America’s Greatest Makers would
air in the United States in 2017. Interested designers, engineers,
inventors and makers can apply now through midnight on Aug. 19,
2016 by visiting AmericasGreatestMakers.com. The website will
feature updated content all year, including information about
season 1 teams and contributed content from the maker
community.
Intel CEO and show judge, Brian Krzanich, comments: “America’s
Greatest Makers has provided makers with a national stage on which
to build their ideas, and it’s been great to see what they can do
with Intel technology.”
The challenge received submissions from creative thinkers
looking to solve real-world problems. Early auditions whittled the
field down to 24 teams from across the country, and were
representative of the startup community, students
and hobbyist makers. The 24 teams pitched their ideas on
national TV over the course of two weeks in front of a panel of
permanent and guest judges.
The teams were then reduced to 15, who over the next five weeks
battled for a place in the finals, a $100,000 development grant and
technology mentoring to help bring their prototype to market on the
Intel® Curie™ platform. The final five teams, ASEAH, Grush,
HandsON, NWTN and PowerBobber, competed in a one-hour finale, which
resulted in Team Grush being crowned America’s Greatest Makers and
taking home the $1 million prize.
