Help Me Focus By Keeping the Noise OUT!

Help me give my students sensory headphones so they are able to drown out the noise around them and help them focus on the task in front of them.

My Project

I would love to get a classroom set of noise cancelling headphones in order to help students give their full focus regardless of what's going on around them. I would also love these headphones in order to help students who have noise sensitivities.

Teachers are trying to balance student energy and keeping them focused.

These headphones would give students the opportunity to make the choice to focus on themselves and provide them with the opportunity to help their needs.

I would also love these headphones to help support students who have hearing sensitivities during loud school events like assemblies, games and other loud school events.
