Lower West side of Chicago!

The Problem We’re Solving• We live here!• We go to school here!• It’s our local community!

• But we don’t know what else to do here

How to know where to go?• We make choices about what to do and where to go

based on our mood• Mood = ‘a temporary state of mind or feeling’ (Oxford

Dictionary)• Several psychological studies have proven that mood

affects choice* • What if you know your mood but don’t know the choices

you have available to you?
