Carolyn Rost

Rost turned a problem into a solution with "I Fit, You Fit, Wii Fit," a project she developed to motivate the entire school and community toward an active lifestyle. The pre-engineering students at Mother of Mercy High School will recycle old televisions into portable exercise video game stations. Anatomy and physiology lessons that are performed on the video game stations will enhance the school's current biology and physical education curriculum. The lessons will focus on cardiovascular fitness, muscle movements, and skeletal biomechanics. The exercise video game stations will be available before, during, and after school for students, parents, faculty, alumni, and community usage. Those who exercise will be encouraged to monitor their progress. The theme of the project is "Who wins? Wii all win!" Rost resides in Cincinnati.
