neighborhood in Chicago, IL called Pilsen. • Pilsen is a thriving, culturally diverse place in the
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?
