About Think Aloud
Think Aloud is a website made by students, for students. It aims to raise mental health awareness in schools by helping students realise good mental health is key for a happy and successful life. Packed with useful features - including weekly blog posts, a Mental Health FAQ and a calming colour scheme that is pleasing to all, think aloud was made with every pupil in mind.
But it doesn't stop there; a think aloud app is in the working, hopefully containing a built-in mood tracker to record how you feel at different points of your life. We hope you find think aloud informative and fun too!

About Presdales Team Brilliance
Partaking in 2017's Go4SET STEM challenge, sponsored by our local GSK, Presdales Team Brilliance was one team out of several others working hard to complete a project in 10 weeks.
​
We were given three project briefs to choose from, of which we picked Our Healthy School. The goal was to produce, finish and submit a project report, create an original product and prepare a 5 minute presentation, all influenced by the brief. To guide the students, 2 mentors were introduced to every team. After careful consideration, our team decided to have one central topic linked to our brief, one that is currently being discussed about worldwide - mental health. We targeted the obvious issue of students' stress because of studying but also other factors that impact a student's mental health. Throughout our discussions and planning we have never strayed away from the fact that every pupil is different and has individual needs. Our aim is to inform, educate and support, but also to decrease the stigma around mental health, especially with youths.
Think Aloud is our finalised product! We chose to do a website because not only is it easily accessible to most students, it is not difficult to make. Initially, thinking along the same lines, we wanted to make an app but after a helpful suggestion by a teammate, we opted for a website instead. think aloud is full of original content written by Presdales Team Brilliance and it has got a student approval - it's definitely an interesting and innovative idea!
​
Our hard work has resulted in a website that we are proud of, and a trophy for Best Overall Project in the South East!
