Destination Health Nation teaches kids how to look better on the outside and feel great on the inside! With eleven levels and twenty interesting facts on how to remain healthy, and what to eat, Destination Health Nation will intrigue players to the very end!

Objective:  To teach kids and adults of all ages healthy choices that are nourishing for their body. Our team has observed that even we are making[image] pizza slice unhealthy food choices like everyone else.We will choose greasy pizza instead of a salad, because the pizza is more immediately satisfying, but not as nutritious. But while making this game we learned about what we should be feeding our body and ways we can become healthier. Our goal is to spread the word of healthy living by completing all eleven levels!

Learnings: We developed a pre and post survey for the sixth grade technology class. We wanted to know what kids learned from the game and what they already knew. Forty four kids took the pre survey and thirty one took the after test. We had six questions that were and all the facts were in the game. The scores increased on four of of the six questions and decreased on two of the six questions. Before the survey 60.9% of the kids thought they had enough information to stay healthy and after the game 83.9% thought they had enough information to stay healthy. We were glad to see that kids actually learned something from the game.
