Nicolas Campisi, a junior at Avon Old Farms School in Avon, Connecticut, has achieved national acclaim by winning the 2025 Congressional App Challenge in Connecticut’s 5th District for his innovative app, 'Snap & Snack.' This mobile application is designed to assist individuals with food allergies by allowing them to scan food products to identify potentially harmful ingredients. Users can input their specific allergies or dietary preferences and then scan barcodes or photograph ingredient labels. The app alerts users to allergens, including those listed under alternate names, and offers additional features such as translation tools and an AI assistant for recipe suggestions. Campisi's motivation for developing the app stems from his own experiences with severe allergies to eggs and dairy, aiming to alleviate the anxiety associated with food safety. He showcased his work at the #HouseOfCode event in Washington, D.C., where he presented to members of Congress and technology leaders. Campisi hopes to make 'Snap & Snack' publicly available soon, aspiring to assist a broader community beyond his local area.
