Connecting people through light to relieve loneliness

","team_members":["Piper Gillen","Hallie Reid","Molly Rigby"],"problem_statement":"

How might we make people who are suffering form loneliness to feel more connected to others?

How

","solution":"

Smart connected lamps that are paired, when one person touches theirs it sends a signal to the other one resulting in light appearing. Showing that the other person is thinking of them and they are not alone. Using this technology does not require screen time allowing youth to connect without using a phone.

Team

Meet the team behind Link Lamp?

We are three students attending Kiera High School who have developed the Link Lamp project with the help of Young Change Agents.

Through our own experiences we have found that knowing that you are not alone is beneficial for our own mental health. We hope to help those who are in need.

We strongly believe that a connected and calming light source can help de-stress people. More than just a product.

Our target customer is young females in years 9-12, that are most likely to get stressed from the overwhelming amount of schoolwork and assessments.

We are two year nine students that become stressed over many things, including exams. So we decided to come together and create a product that can promote effective coping strategies for others students to relieve stress anywhere, at anytime.

Relieving stress for young people on the go

","team_members":["Rachel Barnes","Annabella McKinnon"],"problem_statement":"

How might we help youth to manage stress on the go?

","solution":"

We go to Kiera High School and have developed the AromaKey with the help of MakersSpace and Co. We were a part of a Youth Incubator run by Young Change Agents and were selected based on a application we submitted in producing a product to battle mental health issues within schools. We believe we have come up with a practical and effective tool to alleviate stress on the go.

What is Aromakey?

An easily accessible key ring that incorporates a calming aromatherapy spray with a textured casing to relieve stress.

Being school students we would love support from designers, producers to provide us with feedback and suggestions to what we could do to improve the product. Including ways to decrease the costs so that it is affordable to all students. In the mean time we will be producing the product ourselves and will be looking for support in purchasing the materials for our product.

In the long term, we are looking for potential suppliers who would like to help us manufacture and distribute the products.

Most of all, we would love as many people trying the AromaKey so we can gather as much ideas, feedback so that we can make AromaKey available in all schools and to all students.
