Positive Psychology Capstone: Designing for Strength

The course builds on the foundation of PSYC E-597f to focus on transforming proposals into actionable prototypes that enhance resilience, health, and well-being.

Students explore the practical application of mindfulness and positive psychology principles in designing, refining, and presenting their prototypes.

The capstone emphasizes usability assessments, feedback integration, and iterative development to align prototypes with stakeholder needs.

By the semester's conclusion, students produce a comprehensive prototype, an academic report documenting its development and theoretical basis, and a presentation.

The course helps students to thoughtfully integrate evidence-based strategies into real-world solutions, fostering individual and community well-being through innovation and mindfulness.
