About this Project
Our issue is teen mental health. Our project is to help teens express themselves through art and to let out their feelings through art. Our app helps teens express themselves and find people with similar feelings as them. They can chat with them about their feelings and if that doesn’t help, they can speak to professionals.

What the Judges are Saying
A major part of UX is understanding the user to create a product that truly resonates with them, and you have done an excellent job of understanding the mindset of your target audience. You asked insightful questions and developed a concept that addresses the answers that you received.
I like the idea of using art to express and assist with mental health issues as art can be a form of therapy to many who may not be able to express themselves verbally. Great idea!
I appreciate these students addressing a real and pressing issue in their schools. I like their focus on research and getting feedback from the people who will be users of this application. Kudos for the creativity of the presentation for an app about creativity! I recommend the students think more about the messaging component to ensure that comments are beneficial to the poster's mental health.
my girls thought that the concept was a great idea and would use the app to interact, especially with their friends. It could definitely foster communication in the right direction and could help someone with their day.
