The most difficult challenge faced by our school community is increasing obesity rates, and lack of nutritional knowledge. My students and I strive to build knowledge around health and nutrition with the hope of teaching students how to make healthier choices. STEM can be applied to address this issue by providing students with opportunities to create more nutritious breakfast and snack options though the use of smoothies, and cold and hot soups rather than having them resort to sugary based breakfast options and snacks. Providing students with the knowledge they need to create healthier food options is a life long skill that they will be able to take with them and build upon throughout the course of their lives. The fitness tracker will provide students the opportunity to track their mileage across the school during the course of a school day. The biggest hurdle many of my students face on a daily basis is a lack of food, and that many of them come to school hungry regularly. Without proper nutrition and foods that promote success many of my students resort to many sugary, junk foods to get them through the day. Through this project I hope to teach students to choose healthier options instead of resorting to their go-to junk foods.
