## Screen Addiction
During COVID-19, kids confined at home are becoming more and more addicted to screens.
Whether it's *YouTube* or *Fortnite*, *Snapchat* or *TikTok*, all of these apps aim to maximize the time your child spends staring Zombie-like into the digital abyss.
**Story Squad = a parent's SECRET WEAPON!
‍**Our app uses small doses of screen-time to **maximize your child's time in "Creative Mode"** with a pencil in hand scribbling down original stories and drawings.

## How it works
Story Squad's online interactive storytelling app springs reluctant readers into action by partnering them up in creative challenges.
**Kids become masters of their craft by:**
1. reading new chapters,
2. uploading their own drawings & handwritten fan fiction,
3. giving feedback on each others' work,
4. sharing points in a squad-vs.-squad matchup,
5. seeing whether their squad's portfolio wins.
## Founded by a 6th Grade Teacher
After seeing kids reach for their phones the moment class ended, I saw **the effects of screen-time** on my 6th graders:
- poor eye contact
- a "drop-down-menu mentality" for right answers
- a culture of perfectionism emerged
**^^ These disappear when kids get to be creative.**
