Finding lunch buddies at school is about to get a lot easier for shy kids, thanks to this cool app that allows kids to sign up, invite others and accept lunch requests privately.

2. Over the last 6 years, FreedomApps' programming team have developed
over 130 awesome apps for clients in over 13 countries.
They’ve spent nearly 250,000 man hours in front of their keyboards
programming new app ideas.
We know our stuff!
And we’re constantly on the cutting edge of which apps are hot and which
are not. Even more important we’re watching trends over the next 3 years to
see what the next big winners are likely to be.
We have two offices both in Sydney and abroad. In Sydney we’re situated
amongst the leafy streets and cafes of trendy Victoria St, Darlinghurst.

3. Natalie Hampton
a 16-year-old from Sherman Oaks,
California, remembered how she used
to eat alone in the school cafeteria.

5. Almost anyone who’s
been a student has
likely had to face this
child’s worst
nightmare…

6. feeling vulnerable, she became a target
for bullying

7. As a result, she decided to take matters into her own hands
and help other kids by creating an app called Sit With Us.

8. Sit With Us is a social networking app designed to
promote kindness and inclusion in schools.

9. The app aims to prevent kids from
being publicly rejected and being
considered social outcasts by their
peers.
Goal

10. ““This way it’s very private. It’s through the phone. No one else has to know. And you
know that you’re not going to be rejected once you get to the table.” - Natalie Hampton

11. Ambassadors to the rescue
The app works by allowing students to nominate
themselves as “ambassadors” thereby inviting
others to join them.

12. Here’s what you can do inside the app:
Sign in with Facebook or Email
Add friends and complete your profile
Chat with friends to coordinate lunch
Post featured lunches for people to join
Add your own event
Create a user profile, add friends,
describe your interests
Volunteer to become an Ambassador
for your school

13. "Sit With Us ambassadors take a pledge that they will welcome anyone who joins
and include them in the conversation. To me, that is far better than sitting alone,“

14. Significant impact in society
When students ― especially the “cool kids” ― stand
up to bullying, it has a significant impact,
according to a study conducted by Princeton,
Rutgers and Yale University.

15. The result? A reduction in student
conflict reports by 30 percent.

16. Indeed this is a brilliant idea! Together we can make a difference. Well done kid!
