2. Welcome to Pilsen, IL
• The local community we chose to focus on is a
neighborhood in Chicago, IL called Pilsen.

Lower West side of Chicago!
3. 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
4. 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?
5. Enter Mood in the Hood!

problem by creating an app that suggests
locations in Pilsen based on a person’s mood.
