Over the years I have noticed that students learn best when they can play a game or have some kind of competition. Having the Trebinsky Buzzers to assist in making these games more fun will be an amazing way to keep all students engaged in learning through fun. It is important to give them a break from the serious lectures and let them enjoy being kids while still learning core concepts and team play. Students these days are so energized by all of the stimulation and activities around them that they very seldom know how to hold still. This makes it important for them to have a way to fidget without deterring their learning process. Having the chair bands will allow them the movement they need and still be able to sit and learn when they can't stand and wander. It will also help to alleviate the anxiety that comes with learning new things.
