Team Comments

We chose to create this project to address the common issue of students hesitating to express their emotions openly in classrooms and common areas, recognizing that this communication gap can lead to unresolved issues and emotional distress among students.

Integrating physical computing components with Scratch posed a challenge, but through research and experimentation, we seamlessly combined the banana interface with the digital environment.

If given more time, we might refine the user interaction by adding more nuanced emotional prompts or incorporating additional features to enhance the engagement and effectiveness of the project in fostering open expression of emotions among students.
