STEAM Challenge Prototype 3

Team 3 designed Secret Messages, an app inspired by the traditional Portuguese love handkerchiefs. These handkerchiefs used symbols and patterns to communicate feelings and messages without words.

With Secret Messages, users choose cultural symbols that represent what they want to say. The selected symbols are then displayed on a custom phone case, turning a smartphone into a personal message carrier.

The prototype offers a modern way to translate ancient symbols of connection into everyday digital life:
