Project Partners
The success of the project was contingent on the collaboration of several institutions. First and foremost, Chattanooga Girls Leadership Academy and East Lake Academy welcomed the program into their after-school activities, enabling us to speak to groups during school hours to recruit participants. Faculty and students at University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and Girls Preparatory School along with employees at Tennessee Valley Authority served as IT and language mentors for the students. The Advanced Center for Sleep Disorders and the UT College of Nutrition and Dietetics worked with Global Excel to provide obesity education. Lastly, local developers volunteered their time to evaluate the students applications and presentations.
Metrics and Outcomes
Technical Outcomes
Our program took place in two Hamilton County schools, East Lake Academy and Chattanooga Girls Leadership Academy. We began the program to work with ESL students and introduce them to a way to teach others about a concern for their health. Giving the students the opportunity to work with technology and create a product was a way to give them a view into what is possible in the STEM field.
Learning Outcomes
By participating in the pilot, 15 number of people will learning the following...
- The basics of mobile application development
- Risks of obesity
- How to make a presentation
- How to create a non-coded app
We will measure these learning outcomes by taking pre and post assesments via Google Forms. The students who complete the program will have created an app and made a presentation to a panel of judges.
Community Outcomes
GigBridge’s anticipated outcomes will be: improved digital skills and literacy amongst Hispanic Youth, and increased access to health education.
In order to accomplish these goals, the program will work with Hispanic English as a Second Language Students to develop obesity related mobile applications. Before developing the applications, community healthcare providers will conduct an instructional session to inform students of the latest obesity trends, and steps to obesity prevention. Through this, the students, who themselves constitute an at-risk demographic, will learn about obesity and its prevalence in the community. They will also pursue independent research to build on information provided by the health-care professionals to develop reference materials that they will incorporate into their applications.
