Our story
Every student experiences overwhelming stress before assessments or even everyday on a daily basis leading to symptoms like anxiety, insomnia and fatigue, etc. This anxiety affects our performance and daily life, causing sleepless nights and constant stress. We dream of helping our peers and classmates manage their anxiety.
According to a news article from The Standards, 87% of students in Hong Kong experience stress regularly. We empathise them (us) and we really want to help them, so we decided to create.... the Scream Room!
Target Audience
Our target audience is Primary 4-6 students in Hong Kong.
The results from the survey we collected from our school - DGJS - from the grades primary 4-6. We‘ve found out the top three stressors are assessments, friendship problems, and peer comparison.
Our Idea
- Soundproof rooms for teenagers to scream as loud as they want to
- Stress toys
- Punching bag with gloves
- Anonymous messages to parents (For students to share freely the reason why they are feeling stressed)
Phase 1
We're planning The Scream Room at school in a small music room with permission from the headmistress. Pairs of students can sign up for 3-minute slots during break or lunch to let out their feelings by screaming and playing with stress toys.
Phase 2
We are launching a portable scream room at five different schools, providing students with a safe space to release stress. Each pair ofstudent will have a 3-minute time slot to use the booth, allowing them to express their emotions privately.
Support we needed
To make our dream come true, we need your support! In Phase 1 at DGJS,We need $1,200. Then, Phase 2 will cost us $19,000HKD. Overall, we aim to raise a total of 20,200 Hong Kong dollars for both phases.
Thank you
Thank you! We hope to see one Scream Room in every school in Hong Kong eventually!
