“Local Lunch”
Creators: Harrison, David, Sam, and Isaiah
Middle School Students from Mouse Design League (DIIT) @ PS/IS 187 Hudson Cliffs
About this Project:
We realized how many kids are having trouble with eating outside of school, so we created something to help them. We made something that will make kids have an easier time going out to eat. In doing so, we found ways to make it simple.
It would show you the places in your area based on zip code, and then give you a large selection of places. You chose a place, and it gives you a short description about the place, and deals and combos to go with it.

Feedback from the Judges:
👏 Head of Commodities Technology + Head of Execution & Clearing Technology at RBC Capital Markets — Emoti-Con Judge
An extremely interesting and original idea - for an extremely important issue! Creating simple, user-friendly, accessible tools to empower young people to find affordable, healthy meals outside of school... It's a very powerful pitch. I thought the presentation was very informative, with a good introduction and further walkthrough of the app. It would be a great idea to see how to integrate more information from health / nutrition sources into the offering as well. Also, linking to other trusted external resources for kids in need of assistance would be interesting to look into. I feel that this idea has great potential - and can make a positive impact in the real world. Great job!
👏 Instructional Design Manager at Mouse — Emoti-Con Judge
Amazing idea! I love the amount of options there are to compare food in the area and their prices.
👏 CEO at Mouse — Emoti-Con Judge
Awesome! This is a great example of how technology and innovation can help solve hyper-local idea problems. Great work identifying a challenge that students and their friends encounter almost every day. The presentation is really thoughtful and motivates everyone to want to have an app like this for their local community.
👏 Director, Innovation & New Product Launches at Verizon — Emoti-Con Judge
Great idea! Really found a specific problem and tackled it. Especially liked the idea of looking at your app's future competition. You might consider two things in your next iteration. First, have a search that is based on how much money you have or are willing to spend on lunch. So if the user only has $5, what are their options? Second, consider a ratings or review function so the best value meals get known. Overall great idea and good execution.
