Repas Sauvé
BEGINNER DIVISION
Our project is a mobile application designed to reduce food waste and help people in need. Every day, many restaurants throw away food that is still good to eat. Our app connects restaurants with leftover food to people who need it, including low-income individuals and those experiencing homelessness. There are two types of users: restaurants that donate their unsold food, and people who can find and pick up this food easily. The goal is to make food sharing simple, reduce waste, and support the community in a practical and meaningful way.

In our community, many young people want to help the planet but don’t know where to start. Waste, pollution, a lack of environmental education, and bad habits make things even harder. Our solution is called GreenUp. It’s an app that offers easy-to-complete eco-friendly challenges, such as recycling, conserving water, choosing greener transportation, or protecting the nature around us. Each challenge earns points, and users can watch their total grow over time. These features make environmentalism more fun, more tangible, and above all, more accessible to young people.

Attention is currency!
Our app mainly targets teenagers, since they are the ones most prone to procrastination. In fact, about 95% percent of teenagers report procrastinating on a regular basis (National Library of Medicine). Fixing issues with procrastination fits into the SDG 3 of health and well-being since procrastination in the long term greatly affects people's stress levels, sleep quality, and ultimately their immune systems. We decided to combine motivational features that keeps users engaged and time management features together into an app, and thus, Procrastinever was made.

Finally, our gamified informative page was made for people who aren't able to directly participate in cleanups: they can learn about pollution and alternatives to single-use plastic to adopt healthier lifestyles, helping the planet in their own way.

PCOSync
SENIOR DIVISION
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal condition that affects young women in reproductive age, in which an unajusted nutrition to their specific needs carries risks of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. This can lead to overall frustration and unsatisfaction.
Hence, our solution consists of a mobile app designed to create meals with generative artificial intelligence for young women living with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), an underdiagnosed hormonal condition among women. With the use of AI, we tailor every meal to the user's own personal lifestyle, needs and preferences, allowing them to enjoy their meals while staying healthy.

SafeTrace
SENIOR DIVISION
In the United States, roughly 11.7 million adults in the United States are victims of doxxing.
According to SafeHome.org, even though 77% of individuals fear of being doxxed, many of them do not enforce their privacy settings. Many of the information used for doxxing are unknowingly revealed in posts on social media. As a result, this detrimental problem faced by both men and women must be addressed immediately. Our solution, SafeTrace, prevents self-doxxing by scanning users’ photos before they post it on social media platforms, and removing data/metadata susceptible to revealing the user’s personally identifiable information.

Teenagers in Quebec, from 13 to 17 years old, struggle with social media addiction.

Unlike existing solutions, OrbitLess offers a bank of customized challenges based on a user’s interests, encouraging them to substitute their screen time for stimulating activities. OrbitLess encourages teens to build identities beyond what exists on their screens, exploring their passions.

Many young people try skincare products that can cause various problems (irritation, redness, allergic reactions, etc.). A recent survey revealed that 4 out of 10 teenage girls are completely unaware of the dangers of certain ingredients to their developing skin (Kruidvat Study / Market Report, 2025). That's why we created PureBeauty, an app that generates a personalized skincare routine for morning and evening. This helps many users prevent skin problems and adopt good skincare habits.

SENIOR DIVISION
Although the diaspora is recognised as Africa’s sixth region and young people as the future of humanity, many young Malagasy in Canada do not know Malagasy culture well because they were not born there, do not speak the language, or are not sufficiently exposed to it. Moreover, They feel the call of duty but don’t know where to start. Our project will provide young Malagasy people in the diaspora in Canada with a means, tailored to their way of life, to learn more about their country of origin, to connect with their roots and to get involved in its development.
