Project Overview
People were separated from their core network groups, many of them stuck far away from home unable to visit family or friends. The pandemic posed physical threats to our health but an overlooked aspect was the challenges it created for our mental well-being. The challenge here was to come up with a solution that will help users maneuver the pandemic with better mental health.

Components
Based on the research, the following considerations were made as elements that might fit well to solve this problem.
COVID sticky notes “We are self-quarantining! Please leave our stuff outside. Thank you.” Or “Quarantine Shelf”
Mood Calendar Monitor and stay in touch with your mood.
Health journal Monitor temperature, oxygen levels, diet and exercise.
Set of Stamped Postcards To send to friends and family that can not be contacted.
Activity Prompt Cards Cards that have random ideas to do do different activities. “Cook a meal with three ingredients today.”
Digital Component COVID Tracker Application - monitor your temperature and oxygen levels everyday.
Ultimately, this project views data as a storyteller—one capable of sparking meaningful conversations about urgent environmental issues.
Using datasets from Penn State’s Centre for Pollination Research, I examined rising temperatures, shifting species patterns, and increasing pollutants to uncover links between air quality, climate change, and respiratory health.
