Elevator Pitch
<aside> ⚡ Consuming nutrient-rich meals and healthy snacks daily provides adequate energy to fuel cognitive function and improves energy, memory, and focus. As college students are very busy and transitioning into a phase of independence, they must learn to cook healthy recipes independently. Specifically for low-income college students, it can be challenging to find affordable, healthy options for groceries and cooking recipes. We made “Savor”, to help busy, low-income college students learn healthy eating habits and improve their physical and mental well-being.
Poor nutrition/diet negatively impacts college students’ social & academic life
Busy college students don’t have the knowledge or time to cook healthy recipes
Hard to find affordable food options.

We first conducted brainstorming within our group, developing a rapid number of ideas that we each presented and debated. After some consideration and ideation, we concluded that the modern problem we wanted to tackle was making affordable and fast meals for college students. We wanted to enhance the learning strategies and methods for students by offering curated recipes based on individual preferences, supplies, ingredients, budget, etc. Using AI suggestions, our interface tracks and suggests “healthy” meal options by recommending ways for students to enhance their meals by adding nutritional snacks/sides/ etc.
We conducted an online survey to understand Savor’s social setting. This gave us insights into tailoring the app to our intended audience, low-income college students.
We surveyed 49 college students through convenience sampling through group chats, student organizations, and our social circles. Our survey included 2 demographic questions and 8 questions about cooking, grocery shopping, and eating habits.
