Hungry 4 Halal – Culturally Focused Food App

Culturally Focused Food App

SIMMER, a branch of Tech Incubator at Queens College (TIQC), is a tech and food collaboration uniting students from multidisciplinary fields to create food and health related technologies. Hungry4Halal is designed to connect users with halal cuisine through culturally enriching and tasty content. This culturally based app was created by Queens College students from the FNES department and the tech incubator--a diverse and talented crew.

Testimonials

What an extraordinary demonstration of learning through diversity, something that we are well acquainted with at Queens College,” said Félix V. Matos Rodríguez, president of Queens College. “A vital component of a diverse learning environment is a faculty skilled in bringing students together in ways that demonstrate there is more that unites than divides us.

Chancellor of The City University of New York, Félix V. Matos Rodríguez

I am really proud to be a part of this project and think it’s needed in the halal community. I want my daughter to see that our cuisine has value and is loved by millions. In a time when Muslims are not always portrayed in the most positive light, this app introduces users to a whole new world of cuisine in an optimistic and delicious way.
