First Lady Michelle Obama has been on a mission to end childhood obesity within a generation.  As part of her Let’s Move campaign, the USDA has launched the Apps for Healthy Kids contest.  It challenges American software developers, game designers, students, and all those tech savvy to create new software tools that will engage kids and their families to eat healthy and get active.

Although the contest is only open for submissions from Americans, Canadians can still benefit from checking out the Application Gallery.  There you’ll find submitted apps and links to helpful websites that you can use to help your family get on track to better health.

Make sure to check the site again between July 14th to August 14th when you can cast your vote for your favorite app!
