Education
Health and fitness in childhood influence wellness in adulthood. Only 21% of youth meet the current physical activity guidelines of 60 minutes. Lower levels of physical activity are associated with poor physical fitness and wellness in youth. Poor physical fitness and wellness in youth will increase the risk for injuries and diseases.
Surprisingly, youth are not provided the resources necessary to gain knowledge and skills to improve physical fitness and wellness. Physical fitness and wellness exist at the intersection of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). STEM learning can be an effect tool to teach children about the importance of physical fitness and wellness.
The Sci-FIIT Academy was created to provide educational content for youth to improve physical fitness and wellness. The educational content is delivered via STEM learning while also being engaging and interactive.
