Can playing cell phone apps actually make you healthier? The answer to this question is usually no, but the Apps For Healthy Kids contest now makes this possible.
Winners of a competition sponsored(发起)by First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move! campaign to end childhood obesity were announced at the White House recently. Apps For Healthy Kids called for game designers to come up with phone applications (应用程序)focused on how to teach kids to make healthy eating choices.
“This competition allows us to harness(利用)the combined creativity of game developers, local youth, and adults to work collaboratively to produce fun, innovative(革新的)games and tools that promote healthy lifestyles,” said Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. “Today, we are honoured to award the talent of our nation’s innovators while encouraging nutritious food choices and physical activity.”
The competition began in March. Software developers, families, universities, teachers and companies submitted 95 apps and tools to help kids and families make healthier choices.
One entry included a game called Smash Your Food, where you guess the sugar levels of foods, then check the correctness of your guess. In the game Fitter Critters, you choose different foods that make your virtual (虚拟的)animals fitter and healthier. In Hungry Hiker, you build a meal to fuel your hiker to the top of a mountain. Food Buster, which got the Most Popular Award, asks you to carefully stack food items so you don’t break the scale.
The grand prize went to a group of college students from University of Southern California who created Trainer, a game that challenges kids to train alongside their virtual pet.
