The emotional experiences significantly impact students' design processes. This research presents the EmotionProbe, a design probe tool for capturing design students' emotions while designing. The tool allows simple data collection, offering important insights into the students' design experiences, introducing the spectrum of emotions that design students go through, and showcasing various analysis approaches, allowing for a richer understanding of the design's emotional dimension. The research highlights the need for an emotional tool supporting students' emotional well-being while designing.
