Students, friends create heat map on campus crying

Two students at Waterloo Engineering have launched an online project to help their peers across campus share strong emotions and the stories behind them.

Queenie Wu and Leslie Xin, third-year students in the systems design engineering program, created a heat map called Waterworks to show places where students have cried as a tool for coping and connecting.

“Queenie and I bonded over the mutual fact that we have cried a lot on campus,” said Xin. “Realizing that someone else went through something similar was incredibly comforting and reassuring.”
