Although the presentations were of a high standard and quality, the jury has chosen three of the best projects that distinguished. Two of them represent social projects.
Project Auxilium
Team: Sylwia Bieżuńska, Krzysztof Kaim, Aleksandra Lasota, Szymon Mikołajewski
Supervisor: Paweł Ziemiański, PhD
The name of the project comes from the Latin meaning: help or aid and that is the main purpose of the project. The team has a purpose to reach out and help families that are facing the problem of depression – an illness that has affected their beloved ones.
The final product of the project is the platform will be a source of information – guidance tool – prepared in close cooperation with experienced doctors and specialists. Auxilium will connect people in need with those who know how to help – specialists and people who have won with depression.
“We want to raise the awareness of the fast-growing problem of vastly spreading depression as parents are focused on their career paths very often leaving teenagers on their own in the virtual world.” – say team members.
