FLOTUS ?Apps for Healthy Kids? Winners Announced

By james_fudge

First Lady Michelle Obama's "Apps for Healthy Kids" initiative has chosen a winner in the game category. The program challenged developers to create programs that entertained and encouraged children to engage in exercise and healthy eating habits. In the Game category, "Trainer" took the top honors. Trainer charges youngsters with caring for creatures with different dietary and fitness needs. The Player trains these creatures by exercising alongside them.

The runner-up game was Fitter Critters, "a game platform designed to transform children's attitudes toward eating and nutrition, while developing the skills they need to become informed consumers capable of making better choices about their own diets." Smash Your Food gets an honorable mention.
