Inspiration

My name is Jessie and My story is the inspiration for this project. I was born with an Atrial septal defect, a common birth defect with around 200k cases in the USA per year. I had surgery at 3 months old, which although helped, it would later return to haunt me. It would return in the 8th grade, where I was at a unhealthy weight. My cardiologist would let me know that if I did not change my eating ways, I could die. It was a big shock to me, but I decided to change my eating ways and become to person I am now.

What it does

This project is a two week course designed to help empower students in making the decision to eat healthier options. It will also make the lesson planning much easier for the staff.

How we built it

We built it using flutter from the ground app.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into an issue where we did not have a poster board but one of the team members ran all the way to target to get it.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

we are proud of coming up with a way to help the children we work with.

What we learned

We learned that communication is very important for taking on a big task such as this and finishing.

What's next for Kidz Eat

KidzEat will push to finish a complete product by the summer so we can test our program during summer day camp that YMCA host. After that we would love to start our own non-profit organisation and start helping kids around the world by sending our staff members to teach our program.
