Academic stress has become a growing concern among secondary school students in Malaysia, affecting their emotional well-being, concentration, and academic performance. Existing stress-management tools often address only a single aspect of student well-being and lack integration with modern digital learning technologies. This project introduces StudyZen AI: Smart Anti-Stress Study Kit, an innovative hybrid learning kit designed to promote emotional regulation, self-awareness, and effective study habits through the integration of physical learning materials and Artificial Intelligence (AI). The kit includes a Mood Meter Card, Breathing Exercise Card, Focus Timer, AI Study Buddy, Positive Affirmation Cards, and a gamified achievement system. Students follow a simple five-step process: assess their emotions, relax through guided breathing, access AI-assisted learning, study using the Pomodoro technique, and reflect on their progress. StudyZen AI provides an affordable, user-friendly, and scalable solution that supports students' mental well-being while enhancing learning engagement. The innovation aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 3, SDG 4, and SDG 9) by promoting quality education, good health, and digital innovation in schools.
