My Project

Learning in comfort is the key to a successful classroom. Typical classroom chairs are hard and straight and really not comfortable. These chairs will give the student the ability to move around the room with ease, they have seat cushions and back support for good posture.

I want the students to be able to move freely around the room to collaborate with fellow students.

Students are sitting in a classroom all day and they will be more engaged when sitting on a comfortable chair rather than a hard school chair.

These flexible seats will give them the option on the chair they feel most comfortable in and works best for their learning style.
