End Student Hunger
End Student Hunger is a lens created by me and a team at Snap Inc. in attempt to help tackle the issue of student hunger. As we found in our research many students fail to reach out to get help due to lack of knowledge of the options available to them. So that's why we came together and created our lens to help solve that issue, and to help bring the word out on all possible ways students can qualify for CalFresh.
Who We Are
We are creatives, designers, and problem-solvers.
In addition to also being scholars in the Snap Lens Academy, we found ourselves in positions where each pull from our own lived experience with food insecurity.
Research 
Through our research, we pinpointed two critical areas where we can make a difference:
Firstly, raising awareness about the issue, and secondly, assisting eligible students in finding the resources they need to access food assistance.
Who We Reached Out To
We've reached to many different non-profit organizations to get insights and info on the topics of food insecurity, and how it effects young people
Prototyping
With our research, we got to work sketching out our plans for our lens.
With designing for Augmented Reality in mind, we started our brainstorming process by considering the different possibilities of putting our users into the shoes of somebody that experiences food insecurity while grounding it to their world.
Results
Through our results with working on the project, we were able to a video together that summed up our work up until the end, how the product work, and also our vision for our lens would look like in the hands of college student themselves.
We're hoping that with this lens we can have some sort of impact, and help bring awareness to college students ill informed on the options available to them for receiving food assistance.
