Introduction

The nutrition project aims to create educational tools for children to learn about diet, exercise, and nutrition.

Project suggestions

  • Informational materials
  • Interactive learning tools (i.e. games)

Floating Materials

This section is for posting materials that can be used for developing educational activities. The source of data should always be noted, so that in case that the information is contested, we can take a look at the original documents. If we start seeing lots of detailed information, we can create a page for each nutrient.
