Idea Pitch
Artifact idea related to surviving climate change:
Our artifact is a box containing artifacts from someone's mental health journey. A stress ball, a photo of a loved one, some origami, and other comfort habits, perhaps even a journal, as well as their log in information for the online therapy site.
​
Physical interaction:
Students and interact with the box taking stuff out interacting with the different objects and trying to piece together this persons story.​
Digital interaction:
​​
Inside the box will be the log in code and URL of the therapy site this person uses too help them cope with mental illness. The website (since it is 500 years later) will inform the user that no therapists are available and prompt the user to use the virtual therapist. The user will then answer a series of questions about their mental health and other specifics relating to the patient, as the students answer more questions they will learn more and more about this particular patient.
​
Integrations in relation to climate change and mental health:
This interaction will give students an idea of what mental health as the time (50 years from now) will look like as well as how it is dealt with. The box will also contain things that inform students about what the global warming situation is like in 50 years.
