My Project

Active Learning: Mobile desks facilitate active learning by allowing students to move around the classroom, work in different positions, and interact with their peers and teachers.

Every student has a unique learning style and needs.

With these desks students choose which matches their individual needs. Students choose to SIT, STAND or even MOVE around the room with ease, quietly.

Changing positions during the school day helps increase focus and physical comfort. Standing desks promote a conducive environment that will allow students to better concentrate on learning with the ability to move around the room more easily and participate fully in classroom activities to improve their learning process.
