My Project

Flexible seating refers to a classroom arrangement that offers students a variety of seating options beyond traditional desks and chairs. This approach aims to enhance learning experiences by accommodating diverse learning styles and promoting engagement.

By providing students with multiple options for flexible seating like beanbags, yoga balls, and stools, students can learn in any way that is comfortable to them.

Incorporating flexible seating into educational institutions and workplaces acknowledges the diverse nature of learning and work styles, promoting an environment that is conducive to growth, collaboration, and personal development. My goal is to create a positive learning environment for my students that helps reduce stress and promotes innovative thinking.
