Personal introduction个人介绍

Hi, I’m Victoria.你好,我是 Victoria。

I’m Victoria, a student researcher passionate about connecting science with real-world impact. Through my work in health, decision making, and community education, I explore how ideas can become meaningful solutions. 我是 Victoria,一名学生研究者,喜欢把科学和真实世界连起来。我围绕健康、决策和社区教育做项目,想弄清一个想法要怎么变成真正有用的东西。

This website mainly showcases my card game NutriEmpower for students and teachers who may benefit from it. In the game, players learn which foods are rich in protein, vitamins or energy, and figure out how to combine foods for balanced nutrition. To make it more engaging, I added scenarios of common habits like sneaking snacks and picky eating, helping players see how these unhealthy choices affect nutritional well-being. 这个网站主要展示我设计的卡牌游戏 NutriEmpower,希望它能帮到学生和老师。游戏里,玩家会认识哪些食物富含蛋白质、维生素或能量,也会琢磨食物怎么搭配才算营养均衡。为了让游戏更好玩,我把「偷吃零食」「挑食」这类日常场景也放了进去,让玩家看见这些习惯怎样影响身体状况。

This website is also a space to share my other projects, experiences, and the questions that continue to inspire me. Feel free to reach out if you have ideas or suggestions while browsing. 这里也用来分享我的其他项目、经历,以及那些一直推着我继续追问的问题。浏览时如果有想法或建议,欢迎随时联系我。

What’s NutriEmpower?NutriEmpower 是什么?

NutriEmpower, a nutrition board game that later turned into a curriculum, combines my love for board games and my interest in nutrition. In the game, players can collect different food cards and build a balanced meal. Here, educators and students can access all the details and teaching materials of the game. You can learn more about the game rules and curriculum design in the resource download section of this website, where all materials are hosted on a cloud drive. NutriEmpower 是一款营养学桌游,后来变成了一门课程。它把我对桌游的喜欢和对营养的兴趣放在了一起。游戏里,玩家收集不同的食物卡,搭出一餐均衡的饭。老师与学生可以在这里看到游戏的全部细节和教学材料。想了解完整的游戏规则和课程设计,可以到本站的「资料下载」区,所有材料都存放在云端。

What can you gain from NutriEmpower你能从中学到什么?

Players gain practical nutrition knowledge while having fun. 在玩的过程中,把营养知识变成真能用的东西。

They learn how to build balanced meals and think about the nutritional value of different foods as they play. For example, players can discover which habits disrupt a balanced diet, and identify foods rich in vitamins or protein. 一边玩,一边学会搭出一餐均衡的饭,也会开始琢磨不同食物的营养价值。比如,玩家会发现哪些习惯会打乱一餐的平衡,也能认出哪些食物富含维生素或蛋白质。
