Final graphical user interface for StrengthenJr, a web-based application for children to reflect on their emotions.
Our question for the Emotion Body Map exercise was: How relevant and easily observable is the physical aspect of emotions for children?
One of the earliest prototypes: Emotion Body Map. Our experiment was based on a Finnish study (2014) that researched how emotions occur in the body (link).
Oula is ready to test our MoodMeadure prototype. Our question for the workshop was: “How might we make it more fun to explore emotions?”
We tested our funKy prototype at Kivimiehen koulu, Espoo. Product prototype built by Oula Airiola. The idea is that the overall mood would be visible to everyone in the classroom. Questions that sparked the idea for this prototype: How do students react when asked to document their emotions? How do teachers react to seeing an overview of the class' emotions?
An earlier iteration of StrengthenJr where we used building blocks as a metaphor for emotions. Also, we were asked to integrate a gratitude exercise by the client. The user experience is by Nicole Hussmann.
