Coming soon to Lubbock schools

Active kids, by the classroom.

A class-based fitness platform for elementary schools. Anonymous leaderboards, six-week competitions, real rewards — and a privacy posture you can actually trust with your kid's data.

No spam. Every signup helps us bring this to your kid's school.

The problem

Most kids get half the activity they need. Most fitness apps make it worse.

Individual trackers shame the kids who already feel different about their bodies. PE class is forty minutes, twice a week. Parents can't measure what they can't see. The kids who need it most are the ones who opt out first.

How it works

Three things make this actually work.

01
🏷️

Anonymous numbers, not names

Every kid gets a student number (S-414). Only teachers and parents know whose number is whose. Classmates see a leaderboard of numbers — never of bodies.

02
🏃

Class vs. class, not kid vs. kid

Active minutes get added to your class's team total. Kids actually cheer on the kids who move less — because the team needs every minute to win.

03
🎉

Six weeks. Real reward.

Every six weeks, the winning class earns a pizza party, extended recess, or a field trip. The cycle resets. Everyone has a fresh shot.

Movement in the moment

Active kids aren't just the kids who like recess.

Most fitness programs only count what happens at recess or PE. But the kids who need to move most are often the ones who quietly avoid those moments. Exercise Snacks are short bursts of activity teachers run right in the classroom — 50 jumping jacks before lunch, a 90-second dance break between subjects, ten wall push-ups during transitions. Every kid in the room participates. No equipment, no opt-out.

The kid who hides at recess just did 50 jumping jacks. That's the point.

Teachers schedule short activities throughout the day — pre-built templates or their own creation. When the snack happens, every kid in the room participates, and the minutes get credited to each student's daily total automatically. The kids who would never voluntarily run a lap just added eight active minutes to their day, before they even knew it counted.

Every kid participates.
Recess and PE have opt-outs — kids find ways to hide. Classroom snacks have no opt-out, which is exactly the point. The kids who need movement most can't skip it.
+10 min
Per kid, per day.
Three short snacks add roughly 10 minutes of active time daily — that's almost 17% of the CDC's 60-minute recommendation, before the kid touches recess.
2-3 min
Each, no equipment.
Templates take 90 seconds to 3 minutes. No gear, no setup, no costume changes. Teachers can run one between transitions without losing instructional time.
A sneak peek

Teacher view

Full names. Click a kid to see their week-over-week trend, talk to outliers privately, celebrate wins out loud.

Kid view

Only their own number is highlighted. They see their class's place vs other classes — never another kid's name and a number side-by-side.

Parent view

Just their kid. Daily breakdown, weekly chart, current class standing. Mobile-first because parents live on their phones.

Every kid counts

Karate counts. Basketball counts. Everything counts.

Your kid does karate three times a week — but the dojo doesn't let students wear watches. The basketball coach has a no-jewelry rule. The gymnastics gym requires bare wrists. So we built a simple workaround so the kids most committed to physical activity aren't the ones getting penalized for it.

How verified credit works

01

Print the form.

Single page. Download from the app or grab one from the school office.

02

Instructor signs.

After class, practice, or the game, the instructor signs and notes the minutes — or uses our standard times (60 for karate, 90 for a basketball game, etc.).

03

Teacher approves.

Parent submits a photo of the signed form via the app, or the kid hands it in at school. Once approved, the minutes get added to the class team total.

04

Reasonable guardrails.

Weekly caps on verified minutes. Random spot checks with instructors. Teacher reviews before crediting. We trust kids and instructors — and we built in fairness.

Actively Monthly Events.

Once a month, every participating school hosts an after-school or weekend event for the kids on the program. Real-world extensions of the digital competition — where the families doing this together actually meet each other, and the kids racking up active minutes get to celebrate IRL.

🏁

Family Fun Run

A 1-mile or 5K loop on a Saturday morning. Parents run with kids. Medals for everyone who finishes.

🌳

Field Day

Old-school games — tug of war, sack races, water balloon toss. The kind every adult misses from elementary school.

🛼

Skating Night

Rent the local roller rink for an evening. Music, pizza, and two hours of kids burning energy on wheels.

🤸

Obstacle Course

Inflatables, climbing walls, balance beams — set up on the playground or in the gym for a weekend afternoon.

💃

Dance Party

DJ, glow sticks, and a school gym. Two hours of unstructured movement that doesn't feel like exercise.

🎬

Outdoor Movie + Games

Active games before the sun sets, projected movie on a school wall after. Blankets, popcorn, families.

Sponsor a monthly event.

Local businesses, healthcare systems, and community organizations can sponsor an event at a participating school. Signage at the event. Branded photo backdrops. Direct face-time with the families in your community — the highest-trust marketing channel that exists.

More than just a kids' tracker

Built for kids. Designed for families.

Family Participation

Parents track alongside their kid. No extra hardware.

Parents who already wear a watch or carry a phone can join their child's program as a family unit. No new device to buy, no awkward pairing process — Actively reads from the activity data their phone already collects.

  • Parents opt in voluntarily — never required
  • Family stats show up alongside class stats (the Smiths logged 4,200 minutes this cycle)
  • Kids whose parents move are way more likely to keep moving themselves
  • Sibling participation included — older brother in middle school can stay involved

Pediatric Health Reports

One tap to a summary your pediatrician will actually use.

Before the annual checkup, generate a clean PDF summary of your child's activity. Daily and weekly active minutes, percent of days meeting CDC's 60-minute recommendation, six-month trend. Take it to the doctor's office. Real data on a kid the pediatrician usually only sees twice a year.

  • Generated locally — Actively never shares health data with anyone but you
  • Built around what pediatricians actually need — clinical advisor input planned before launch
  • Optional, parent-initiated, never shared automatically
  • Same export available for school nurses for kids with health flags

Privacy isn't a feature

It's the foundation.

Most children's apps treat privacy as a checkbox. We architect for it from the database up. Names live in one encrypted table. Activity data lives in another that only knows your kid by their pseudonym. If the activity table leaked tomorrow, it would be useless to anyone without access to the key.

The seven non-negotiables

Everything below is documented, audited, and contractually committed.

  • Verifiable parental consentRequired before any device ships home.
  • Pseudonymization at the gatewayNames never enter activity records.
  • Data minimizationActive minutes and steps only. No heart rate, no GPS, no biometrics.
  • One-click deletionParents can wipe their child's data within 30 days, including from backups.
  • No third-party advertisingSponsor logos only. Never feed-level, never targeted, never to children.
  • Annual third-party security auditSOC 2 once revenue justifies. Penetration test before district expansion.
  • Named COPPA officerIn every contract. Breach procedure documented and rehearsed.
