1. Assess the Current Situation We began by conducting a survey to understand the concerns and needs of our community, providing us with a solid starting point.

​​

2. Brainstorming Solutions With the information gathered, we held a brainstorming session to propose creating a community that involves students and raises awareness about mental health. We considered the information technologies we could use and the creative, accessible content we could develop.

​

3. Instagram Channel Creation We decided to create an Instagram channel where students can produce videos discussing what mental health is, sharing strategies, impacts on their lives, and even personal experiences.

​

4. Podcast Development Building on our ideas, we explored launching a Spotify channel to host podcasts focused on mental health topics.

​

5. Emotional Management Games To support emotional management, we developed various games and quizzes for students to participate in.

​

6. Family Support Blogs Our surveys revealed that family plays a crucial role in supporting students. Consequently, we created blogs on different topics of interest to help parents support their children.

​

7. Virtual Chat Bot We recognize that adolescents do not always feel comfortable expressing their emotions. Therefore, we are considering the creation of a virtual ChatBot that behaves like an empathetic professional therapist, complete with a detailed prompt.

​

8. Early Emotional Awareness During our problem analysis, we recognized the importance of addressing emotions from a young age. This led to the idea of creating a Lego Spike robot call Emocibot. Using sensors, Emocibot detects a child's emotional state through color and suggests activities to help them. We also decided to build two additional robots for entertainment and a dog robot.

​

9. Community Presentation Once the project was completed, we presented the resources to the educational community for their use.

​

10. Final Survey Finally, we conducted a follow-up survey to assess the project's positive impact. The results were overwhelmingly positive, with participants viewing it as a valuable tool that significantly improved their mental health.

​

Our proposal is to implement similar projects in schools to address the real needs of children and adolescents. We aim to empower students to build a community and create a platform that serves youth, by youth.
