Calming the Chaos in the Computer Lab

Help me give my students a calm environment in the computer lab with fluorescent light covers.

My Project

Fluorescent light covers can make a real difference in a computer lab where students work on desktop computers to complete class projects in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Python coding.

By softening the harsh glare from overhead lights, these covers help reduce eye strain as students work to complete hands-on computer projects in the computer lab.

Cutting the harshness of the overhead lights will help reduce the glare on the computer screens so that students will be able to focus more easily and feel more comfortable while working on desktop computers.

This project aims to improve student focus and reduce the glare from overhead lighting during instruction and hands-on computer projects. These light covers will also help to create a more welcoming classroom space.

Your support would help create a calm classroom environment.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
