CHARGEDCHARGED

Hello!I am Dan MusilekI am here to CHARGE you

Why should you get Charged???

“ You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

◇Zig Ziglar

Introduction◇ Charged merges “digital natives” technology

knowledge with physical fitness through augmented reality, to combat childhood obesity

◇ Americans as of 2014:￭ 90% own a cell phone￭ First phone at age 6◇ Charged:￭ Motivates through gamification￭ Gives immediate results◇ Physical Fitness:￭ 60 min. aerobic activity per day￭ Stimulates brain activity￭ 20 min. physical activity before core

courses

Physical fitness stimulated brain activity after children took a 20-minute walk (Lee, 2015)

12,700,000Obese children in America (CDC, 2015)

Obesity in childrenHigher Risk For:

◇ Asthma◇ Heart Disease◇ Low Self-Esteem◇ Diabetes◇ High Blood Pressure◇ Joint, Bone, & Muscle Problems

In the past 30 years, obesity has more than doubled in children (age 6-11) and quadrupled in adolescents (age 12-19) (CDC, 2015)

Physical Activity in Students

No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB)

◇ 2002◇ Required tests

(3rd-8th/ once in HS)◇ Designed to improve

education systems international competitiveness

Since NCLB◇ 44% of schools have

cut gym class, recess, and art classes

◇ Schools aid in future health care concerns & costs

Participation in PA◇ 29% of students

report getting 60 min/day

◇ Six states require gym:￭ Illinois￭ Iowa￭ Massachusetts￭ New Mexico￭ New York￭ Vermont

300,000 teachers lost their jobs from 2008-2011 and the first budget cuts are in gym and arts (SPARK, n.a.)

“Technology is making America fat”

-Americans

“Technology in the form of screen time… has been identified as a significant contributor to childhood obesity” (Fuller, 2015)

Screen Time:◇ No more than 2 hour per day ages 2 and older◇ Children ages 8-18 average 7.5 hours daily◇ Video Games, Computer, Phones & Tablets

Purpose

To allow children to combat childhood obesity while applying their pre-existing knowledge of new-age technology to the physical fitness setting and learning environment

Charged Will:

◇ Meet the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans:￭ Aerobic￭ Muscle Strengthening￭ Bone Strengthening

◇ Reestablish the need of physical activity in schools while still meeting requirements of NCLB

◇ Utilize technology in new ways to combat the effect of obesity

◇ Create/restore teaching jobs

Charged utilizes gamification to engage students, and they begin earning daily points from the time they log in. Point values vary as followed:

● Daily log in: 5 points● Log in five days in a row: additional 25 points● Complete five mini games in homeroom: 5 points● Complete five mini games in each core subject per week:

additional 10 points/ea.● Participation in augmented physical activity: 25 points

615 total points available per weekStudent’s weekly goal is to reach 555 points per week

Students can earn additional points by:

● Earning a Gold medal in augmented activity: additional 20 points

● Earning a Silver medal in augmented activity: additional 15 points

● Earning a Bronze medal in augmented activity: additional 10 points
