Computer science and software engineering doctoral candidates Jonathan Lartigue and Russell Thackston have developed an interactive iPad application that teaches elementary school students about nutrition. The application, Body Quest: Food of the Warrior, features six animated characters that provide nutrition facts and lessons through a series of games. The program is being used in third-grade classrooms across the state and is funded by the Alabama Cooperative Extension System and the Alabama Department of Human Resources.
