Inspiration

We often get too busy to care about ourselves and forget how valuable we are. Writing journals to keep track of one's mood and thoughts is great, but in busy days, it can be challenging to make the time for that. Mood Gem allows individuals to reflect on their day easily and express their day as a gem.

What it does

At the end of each day, you take seven-question long mini survey, and as a result, you get a gem that describes how your day was. Along with the type of gem, users get a short explanation of the meaning of gem and some advice. You have a bi-weekly wooden board to put the gem of today, and once you fill all the blocks in the board with different gems, you will see how your last two weeks were.

How we built it

We created a web app of questionnaires using HTML, CSS, and Javascript. We drew gems on our own, and we utilized a laser cutter in order to make the wooden board and wooden figures of gems.

Challenges we ran into

Cutting different figures with a laser cutter took us longer than we expected as we had not experienced using such tools before.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we completed such an app that can help people take care of themselves efficiently.

What we learned

We learned how to use a laser cutter, and we also improved our skills in different languages

What's next for Mood Gem

We would like to create a board with magnets so that it is easy to put and remove gems from the board, and we also like to add more variety of questions to our web app. Furthermore, developing a mobile version of app will be nice.
