Invisible Safety Networks for Safer Schools
Smart wool wristbands that sync with dynamic hallway signage to anonymously signal when students feel unsafe. A subtle squeeze triggers instant support — no attention drawn, no judgment made.
A bullied middle schooler subtly squeezes their wool bracelet while walking down a threatening hallway. Within seconds, the digital sign overhead smoothly transitions from "School Spirit Week" to a warm, calming "You're not alone — help is nearby" as a quiet alert goes to five trained student allies and one counselor who immediately and naturally converge on that location, creating a protective bubble around the student.
