Team Comments

We chose to create this project to address the prevalent issue of unhealthy snacking habits, particularly the preference for sugary snacks over fruits, aiming to promote healthier eating habits and prevent nutrition-related health issues through interactive education and immediate feedback.

Integrating physical computing elements with Scratch to provide immediate feedback on food choices posed a challenge, but through experimentation and research, we achieved a seamless interaction.

Given more time, we might expand the project by incorporating additional features, such as personalized nutritional recommendations or gamification elements, to further engage users and reinforce healthier eating habits in a more interactive and dynamic manner.
