Hybrid Communication Installation - Echo Sky

Echo Sky is a hybrid communication installation designed to bridge emotional distance between students in closed county-level high schools and people beyond their school walls. Through a voice-based physical device and a lightweight mobile interface, students can safely express their feelings, send their stories into the wider world, and receive warm responses in physical letter form.

‍

By reconnecting isolated student voices with a supportive public audience, Echo Sky explores how simple technologies, human empathy, and community participation can create a more equitable and emotionally sustainable educational environment.

This project was inspired by my internship experience with the PEER organization.To learn more about my reflections from that work, please visit: https://racheldsj.com/archive/peer-program
