My Project

This project will supply students at my school with flexible seating options in our school library. Many students visit the library to read, work on homework or projects, collaborate with peers, get tutoring, and so much more! These flexible, modular seating options will further allow students to focus, in comfort, while getting their work done. It is one of my many goals to provide students with a consistently comfortable, welcoming, and enriching environment in the library. By funding this project, students will be able to use these chairs in small groups, as well as at tables, or during independent work time.
