"We Grow It, do You Know It" is a lively, free app that gives kids their first lessons in how agriculture produces the things they love to eat.

'Snack Planet' app promotes
healthy snacking, exercise
UNL Extension and Educational Media have teamed up to generate snack planet, a new, free iPad app available online though the Apple Store.
Snack Planet is a game developed to promote the benefits of healthy snacking and exercise. Help Optimis the robot move quickly through a maze, grab healthy foods and reach the exit before time runs out. Beware of the unhealthy snacks -- they reduce both time and score.
