Dancex
Location
Dancex would be a video game which incorporated a pressure sensing pad and wristbands that have motion sensors in them. As the game shows students new dance movements, the kids repeat them and learn them and then practice them to fun music.

Your idea
Are you a
Student
How does your innovation currently get kids (or how might it get kids) engaged in physical activity? How would your idea or project potentially be implemented during the school day?
My idea would get kids engaged in physical activity by providing a fun dance video game specifically designed to promote cardio aerobic workouts. The project could be implemented in the school day by schools buying the game and using it during PE class to explore different kinds of excercise through different kinds of dance. The dance movements would be designed by exercise professionals to specifically promote aerobic activity through the dance movements. The game would include a variety of styles from hip hop to ballet to group line dances. This game would be educational in the types of dance as well as social since all of the students would be learning the same dances. The choreography will be easily learned by students and they will get points based on accuracy in execution of the motions. It will be fun so that the students will want to engage often.
Name Your Project
Dancex
How many children does this program currently or plan to serve? How much time does each child spend daily/weekly engaged in physical activity? (150 words max)
This program has the potential to serve thousands of students in the home or in school recreational programs. Schools could even have a space for it at recess so as to promote physical activity. Children could spend from one hour per week in a PE class up to over an hour per day at home playing the game. They would be constantly engaged in physical activity while playing at home or with their friends.

Tell us the story behind the social innovator. (150 words max)
I came from a dance background have experienced the positive affects on health and self esteem that dance can have. I would like to see this innovation bring those benefits to kids who do not participate in studio dance classes.
