Inspiration Malnutrition doesn't just exist in faraway places — it's in our own neighborhoods and communities. Millions of people lack access to clear nutrition information and local food resources, not because they don't care, but because the tools to help them simply aren't there. We wanted to change that by building something practical, accessible, and community-driven.
What It Does NutriCheck gives users three core tools:
Nutrition Risk Checker — A personalized quiz that assesses eating habits, food access, and energy levels, then delivers a risk score with tailored recommendations. Educational Articles — An in-depth library covering malnutrition, budget-friendly eating, vitamin deficiencies, childhood nutrition, and the diet-mental health connection. Food Resources Directory — A searchable listing of nearby food banks, pantries, and meal programs with hours and contact info.
How We Built It We used HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to keep the app fast and accessible on any device. GitHub handled version control and team collaboration. The risk checker runs on a weighted scoring system in JavaScript, and the article content was researched and written by our team.
Challenges We Ran Into Our biggest challenge was the map and community food exchange feature. We had a clear vision — an interactive map of local food resources plus a board where neighbors could share or request food — but integrating real-time location data and building a safe, moderated exchange required more time and infrastructure than we had available.
Accomplishments That We're Proud Of We're proud of the educational articles — writing genuinely helpful nutrition content that's clear, empathetic, and actionable took real effort. We're also proud of the risk checker, which turns a complex topic into a friendly, personalized experience. Most of all, we're proud that we built something with real purpose for people who truly need it.
