Flex Vibe 

Capstone Project

 

10 week project 

Designed by Emma Boyle

March-June 2018

I want to learn more about my own sexuality, but there is stigma in our society that makes the subject taboo.

"

what did people already know?

Of people did not feel prepared for sexual
activity after their sex ed

Of people did not feel comfortable or
knowledgeable about their bodies after their sex. ed

Of people wish they had learned more...

based off these statistics there was a surprising a disconnect

participating in intercourse”

Communication is key in healthy
relationship but when it comes to sex even
long term couples struggle”

wanting to get advice I reached out to some professionals...

HAND PLACEMENT

Kids learn better visually, so to be able to point to an area of the ball and have them understand the technique so much faster

YOUTH
FOCUSED

In every offensive system, the QB is the focus. The sooner you can have a kid to learn to throw the better
