To facilitate a supportive studio environment.

The goal is to create an ambient environment at the studio that allows students to use the space to rest during their break time

Inspired by the disconnect between students and educators, we created Feel-o-Meter, an interactive device to provide an alternate method for feedback. Understanding that in many classrooms or work environments, some people do not feel comfortable expressing their feelings or that feedback is often shared when it’s too late. We hope to share essential information with the right people, when it matters the most.

How might we design a fun and subtle way to notify someone’s birthday and enable the others to express blessings in a shared workspace? Inspired by the Thanksgiving post-it notes we put on each other’s locker, we defined locker as the channel to communicate this information and facilitate interactions between people.
