Session description

In today’s fast-paced world, young students face emotional challenges but often lack the tools to express and understand their feelings. HappiMind is an AI-powered emotional well-being app designed for primary students, acting as a virtual companion to guide them through self-reflection, mindfulness, and emotional resilience in a safe, engaging, and interactive way. Through AI-driven conversations, emotion tracking, gamified well-being challenges, and storytelling exercises, HappiMind empowers students to identify emotions, develop self-awareness, and practice coping strategies. Inclusivity is central, with support for neurodiverse learners, multilingual accessibility, and customizable interaction styles to meet diverse needs. This innovative approach fosters student empowerment, digital responsibility, and lifelong emotional resilience, making HappiMind not just a tool for kids, but a bridge for educators and caregivers to nurture emotional intelligence in the digital age.
