[{"id":7717,"project_name":"Life in a Loop","customer_problem":"

Life in the loop identified that all age school students are finding it difficult to talk or express about their emotions. We want to help and solve this problem to create a more effective and safe way to communicate with others. Based on our survey results, more than 80% of students identified that they felt a range of emotions throughout the week that impacts their well-being. Out of those same students - all determined that they would prefer a non verbal method to share how they are feeling with their teachers and parents/carers.

","our_why":"

Bring others into your LOOP.

","team_members":["Mekaylah Bell"],"problem_statement":"How might we help young people to identify, express and share their emotions, in turn, support overall mental wellbeing?
\nHaving identified this need myself, I want my peers to have the opportunity to feel safe to express their emotions too. We believe that by building a common 'language', we can all 'bring others into the loop'.","solution":"

Life in the loop creates customisable bracelets that use a 'colour language' for young people to express how they are feeling.

This company will sell beaded bracelets, where each bead colour demonstrates a different mood or feeling, eg, yellow = happy, green=sick, red=angry, each day users can put the beads which best represent their mood on the bracelet, so people are able to identify what mood their in, how their feeling, and adjust how they act towards people around them based on that. The company will donate profits to headspace, promoting the importance of mental health and well-bring.

The aim is for this project to be available Australia wide, with people of all ages being able to improve their emotional literacy and share their emotions.

","team_members":["Beenleigh SHS Team!"],"problem_statement":"How might we create a platform where people from different cultural backgrounds can talk to others, learn about other cultures, and boost their confidence?","solution":"

ChatPrac is an app that will allow you to build up your confidence with speaking, you can master your voice and strengthen your self-confidence. This is done through the power of friendly AIs that will provide you with feedback and be your audience who will not judge you.

ChatPrac is a social enterprise dedicated to helping individuals from diverse backgrounds and contexts build their confidence through AI-powered conversations. Our platform pairs users with different characters to engage in chat interactions. Additionally, ChatPrac facilitates exposure to various accents, making it accessible to a wide range of people. We provide a multicultural and friendly environment, fostering inclusivity and understanding.

We envision our app to work like a CHAT AI platform. users will be able to either speak directly into the app OR type into the platform. After initiating the conversation, ChatPrac will engage in conversation with a user, taking note of the language being used. The application will then provide a user with feedback on their conversing and language abilities before providing a user with links to resources to help them strengthen their abilities and achieve their language and confidence goals!

We have come up with a Multicultural Festival that helps young people learn about other cultures surrounding them and help them be able to embrace and show others their culture and educate others.

We want to create a cultural festival where everyone is able to appreciate their ethnicities and backgrounds. Attendees can dress up in own traditional clothing. The festival will sell food, drinks, and clothes from a variety of cultures. There will be performance opportunities for those to share traditional dances or music from their culture.

Our aim is to create more inclusive communities through this initiative. While it will start in the Logan area, we anticipate that the event will grow to have nation wide impact.

Disconnection, social isolation and food price inflation is becoming a serious and harmful problem. Thousands of people in the Logan area alone are suffering from food insecurity and mental health issues as a result. Education and experiences regarding different cultures and their cuisines are also very low. We want to create a solution to this issue by providing a cost effective way for the people of Logan to connect with, share, and educate each on culture!

Bringing communities together through food, breaking old barriers, creating feelings of belonging

","team_members":["Lorelei","Brody","Joan","Gabrielle","Dennis","Matilda"],"problem_statement":"We created an opportunity from these problems and have developed our own solution to the question, "How might we create a safe and open community environment for people to learn about different cultures in a new, innovative way and to connect with others?"","solution":"

We believe it is imperative to learn about and celebrate different people's beliefs and cultures. We have found that a food truck is the best way to gather people and support a sense of belonging in a community environment.

Our social enterprise, Cuisine Limousine, is a food truck that will travel throughout the city of Logan educating all communities on culture and connection.

Our food truck will sell cost-effective food items from various cultures that are present in the region.
\nWhen you purchase a food item, you will get a culture card that contains fun and exciting facts about a diverse culture (this card may not even be related to the culture you are eating from, it is a lucky dip!).

The aim is for the food truck to celebrate the different cultures in the Logan region while educating communities about the diverse cultures within. We hope to create a sense of community and connection with the food truck and hope to inspire inclusivity and diversity throughout Logan.

Our vision is for the food truck to be able to travel Australia-wide! But we need to start small in our own community to capture and understand our impact before expanding our idea.
