My Project

My students flourish when they have the freedom to choose their seating based on personal preferences. I envision a dynamic classroom layout that embraces flexibility, allowing students to work both sitting and standing.

This setup enables seamless group rearrangement, promoting collaboration and connection among diverse learners.

Each student would have their own personal space, creating an environment where they can truly thrive, unlike our current shared tables.

Students cherish the flexibility and the chance to select their workspace within the classroom. These desks would be another empowering way for them to make choices throughout the day.
