BnRUST – Balance n Reduce Your Screen Time
Team: ms_manasvi3
Project Details
Project Description: A WHO (World Health Organisation) report says “school children of the age of 6 to 14 across the world, the screen time is more than two hours”. It says excessive screen time has replaced healthy behaviours and habits such as physical activities, proper sleep and social behaviour. The addictive screen Time behaviour poses other health problems like eye strain, poor vision, neck pain, headaches, attention problem and increased anxiety. Lack of exercise leads to obesity too.
“Goal 3 “of the United Nations Sustainable Development is “Good Health and Well Being”. Following its guidelines I have made my project
“BnRUST” Balance and Reduce your screen Time
It uses the coding platform PICTOBLOX and I have used Blockcoding to code. For a balanced use of technology the content which is watched should be useful like that which can improve our knowledge and build good character as well. But even though the content is good it should not be excessive as it will lead to health risks. Therefore, the robot character “Issac” is the TV Assistant who guides us through”. My project gives suggestion day wise what good contents can be watched. I have categorized the first three days to watch something educational like peekaboo kidz where children learn about the science behind all that works. The project suggests the next three days also educational but light like peppa pig and other stories which enhances the linguistic and creative abilities. As the child starts watching the content a timer runs for 30 minutes. At the end of the timer the TV Assistant Issac would ask to turn off the TV…….JUST LIKE A MOTHER DOES. I have used AI text to speech extensions to enable the voices. The click buttons helps easy navigation.
So, balance is the keyword and to balance life with technology “BnRUST” is the word.
