My Project

Currently, we do not have enough chairs for our lab space. Currently, I am short 3 computer chairs for our lab.

My students love STEM learning and will engage with NASA activities on our computers to complete lunar landing simulations, but having to stand for 40 minutes at a computer is uncomfortable.

Students will be working on the “Spartemis Mission,” virtually recreating base camps on the moon, studying craters, and studying the NASA Artemis mission. It would be nice to have chairs at each station instead of having students stand or drag a stool, which is too short for the computer desks, from the other side of the room.
