Hackathon

Our group members partcipated in the 2024 Serenity Hackathon. An event hosted by Women in Computer Science and the Metropolitan Open-Source Society, both of which are affiliated with Toronto Metropolitan University. All 26 groups were tasked to create a prototype that will do one or more of the following: 1. Address a significant mental health issue. 2. Promote the overall mental well-being of individuals and/or communities. 3. Integrate with existing platforms and services to enhance the overall mental health ecosystem.

Affirmify asks the user to rate their day on a scale of 1-10, the user then chooses from 5 life categories to curate a personal affirmation that resonates with their emotions. After which an optional open response journal feature is implemented to document the event is provided. Affirmify also keeps a history of the journals and organizes them based on the 5 life categories:

Appearance Finance School/Work Family/Relationships Other.
