My Project

Help give my students the power of choice! Flexible seating options like bean bags, standing desks, lap desks, and scoop chairs allow my students to pick how they learn and provide comfort throughout the day.

Sitting at a desk and a chair for seven hours a day is hard on the body and often does not support the active needs of my students.

By giving them more seating options through these products, they can pick a location where they feel most productive to learn.

Young students need to have room to wiggle, move, and support their growing bodies throughout the day. Even as an adult, I feel more productive using a standing desk, so why shouldn't my students have this choice?
