As an educator and curriculum developer, students\u2019 mental health is close to my heart as we can help students develop grit and resilience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, <strong>how do we promote a balanced mindset to thrive in this unpredictable world?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We propose the Cedar App. Each mindfulness session is accompanied by a lesson plan that fits with the BC Education Curriculum\u2019s core and curricular competencies. Our Cedar app uses LiDAR sensors. It is a data collection system that provides 3-D information for an area of interest. This would be the first LiDAR meditation app in the current market. The global mindfulness meditation apps market is predicted to have a&nbsp;market&nbsp;opportunity of USD 2.1 billion in the next five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why Cedar App?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The name Cedar comes from my journey of awareness in finding balance. Through meditation and hikes, breathing travels deep within, bringing a sense of grounded connection. Cedar represents enduring strength. Students will benefit from learning mindfulness through the Cedar App.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our goal is to promote mental health awareness in BC Schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/view\/cedarapp\/elevator-pitch\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/view\/cedarapp\/elevator-pitch\" target=\"_blank\">Cedar App Venture Pitch<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/files\/2020\/11\/CedarAppPic2-1024x326.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2085\" width=\"615\" height=\"195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/files\/2020\/11\/CedarAppPic2-1024x326.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/files\/2020\/11\/CedarAppPic2-300x96.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/files\/2020\/11\/CedarAppPic2-768x245.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/etec522\/files\/2020\/11\/CedarAppPic2.png 1104w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COVID-19 has changed our lives, especially student\u2019s well-being.
