Inspiration
Inspiration
The inspiration behind this project was the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Many people are unaware of their Body Mass Index (BMI) and what it indicates about their health. I wanted to create a simple tool that helps users quickly understand their fitness level.
What it does
The BMI Calculator allows users to enter their height and weight to calculate their Body Mass Index. It then displays the result along with the health category such as underweight, normal, overweight, or obese.
How we built it
This project was built using MIT App Inventor. The app uses basic components like text input fields, buttons, and labels. Logic blocks were used to perform the BMI calculation and display the result instantly.
Challenges we ran into
One challenge was correctly applying the BMI formula and handling different user inputs. Designing a simple and user-friendly interface was also a bit difficult at the beginning.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are proud of creating a fully working mobile app that is simple, useful, and easy to use. It successfully calculates BMI and provides clear results to users.
What we learned
We learned how to build mobile apps using MIT App Inventor, apply logical thinking, and design a basic user interface. We also understood the importance of health awareness.
What's next for BMI Calculator
In the future, we plan to add more features like diet suggestions, exercise tips, and a history tracker to monitor progress over time.
