Flexible Seating for Focus: Empowering Students Through Movement

Help me give my students adaptive seating options that encourage movement and enhance focus in the classroom.

My Project

This project is designed to provide my students with flexible seating options that will allow them to move and engage in a way that enhances their focus and learning. These chairs give students the freedom to shift positions, improve posture, and release excess energy, all of which are crucial for maintaining attention and participation. My students are unique because they have diverse learning styles, with many needing extra sensory stimulation to stay focused and energized. By incorporating this adaptive seating option, I hope to create a dynamic and inclusive classroom that meets the needs of all students, helping them to thrive both academically and personally.
