It's Gonna Pass

Prompt: For the final Bridge assignment, all the making and inquiry processes practiced during the semester, research questions, and modes of investigation was to be used. I had to develop my own position or argument as part of the project and include a consideration of all the processes I have been developing in the class.

I created a 4 minute animation that narrates a story of a duck who is experiencing panic attacks for the first time. The duck learns how to manage them by reminding herself that the panic attacks eventually pass. My intended audience for this project is children and teenagers, roughly between the ages of 8 and 18, who experience panic attacks or have panic disorder, including those who have not yet been formally diagnosed. I hope my project can offer a sense of recognition and reassurance to others, and help young people feel less alone and more aware of their mental health.
