Peel Back the Layers of Student Emotion
A classroom emotion-tracking device using colorful beads on vertical rods. Students privately slide beads to represent their social-emotional state — red for conflict, yellow for anxiety, green for safety. Teachers identify patterns and understand root causes before they escalate.
A teacher notices one student has slid six red beads this week and realizes through the app's heatmap that they always cluster right after lunch recess — without the student saying a word, the teacher now knows exactly when and where to provide support, potentially preventing months of hidden trauma.
