My Project

I want to empower my students to take ownership of their learning and encourage a sense of community and cooperation within the classroom.

Flexible seating and tables can significantly enhance collaborative learning environments by promoting engagement, interaction, and adaptability.

The stools provide comfortable and customizable seating and help students feel more engaged and motivated during group learning. A more relaxed and adaptable seating environment can stimulate creativity and innovation.

My students can easily form small groups or pairs for collaborative work by rearranging flexible seating. This flexibility promotes teamwork and communication as students can choose their group members and seating configurations based on the task at hand.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
