[{"id":433,"project_name":"MoveMat","customer_problem":"

Students levels of stress and anxiety are rising due to the workload that schools impose. As young students ourselves, we experience first hand the struggles of life in the classroom everyday. We recognise the hardships that our classmates face, and have created a product to relieve the stresses and anxiety that are caused. We have close friends who experience stress in the classroom from sitting down for too long and we want to help others who experience these issues. We are the people to do this as we understand personally the struggles in the classroom that our product, MoveMat, will help face.

Combating restlessness and stress of students in the classroom

","team_members":["Lachlan Webster","Brooke Gechevski","Renee Rice"],"problem_statement":"

How might we acknowledge and support the mental health of young people at school?

","solution":"

Our solution is to create a “MoveMat” that will sit under student’s school desks. The MoveMat will enable users to release their energy through movement without disturbing classes. Our MoveMat is a portable device that influences restless students to become more involved in classwork.

The issue that we are addressing is children getting overly distracted and stressed in the classroom environment. This stress and distraction commonly leads to anxiety.

\nOur target customer is primarily school children aged 12-18 that are likely to get distracted in the classroom and who might be dealing with large amounts of stress.

The stress often causes them to fidget or stress but common stress tools are not able to be brought into the classrooms or exams (balls, spinners etc).

","our_why":"

Relieving stress in the classroom for young people!

","team_members":["Darcy Barmby","and Friends"],"problem_statement":"

How might we decrease the growth of anxiety in school children so it doesn't impact employment and well being in early adulthood?

","solution":"

Our solution is a pencil that has customisable materials on it that children can fidget with. This means they can fidget with this rather than other things that actually distract them from their work.

Importantly they can also be taken into exams - a stressful time for any student!

Our pidget fencils are made out of recycled plastic so it is environmentally friendly.

This is our design and our MVP which was produced following our successful crowdfund. We 3D-printed our product and self-assembled it.
