FoodPAD

FoodPAD is a novel tool to support children (aged 8-10) in making healthier and more sustainable food choices. The project centers on the children and their caregivers as end-users and involves them in shaping the content and function of the tool through participatory approaches. By including digital elements, FoodPAD aims to combine the convenience and attractiveness of technology, while still encouraging children to engage beyond screentime.
