Overview

01

Problem

Social Distancing

The Covid-19 lockdown led to remote learning for many school-aged children in 2020.

As quarantine stretched from weeks into months, it became clear that students were moving less and sitting more.

Unfortunately, this led to childhood obesity, depression, sleep problems, and a loss of confidence in many students.
