My Project

Dear Donors,

Help me provide diverse learners with a collaborative workspace.

As a diverse learner teacher I want to transform our learning environment and significantly enhance the educational experiences of my students. In my pursuit of creating a more dynamic and interactive learning space, I have identified the Crescent Whiteboard Collaborative Table as a key component to achieve this goal. This innovative furniture solution offers a versatile and collaborative workspace, perfectly suited to meet the needs of our diverse student population. The tables’ whiteboard surfaces provide a unique platform for students to brainstorm, collaborate, and visualize their ideas in real-time, fostering an environment that encourages creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork. Crescent Whiteboard Collaborative Tables can be a valuable asset in a STEM-focused educational environment. Students can use dry-erase markers directly on the tables to work through problems, sketch designs, or brainstorm ideas. This hands-on approach can make abstract STEM concepts more tangible and easier to understand. For technology projects, students can sketch initial designs and make iterative changes on the whiteboard surface. This fosters an iterative design process and encourages creative problem-solving. Each activity table includes interchangeable locking casters and glides to suit all your mobility needs.
