My Project

The goal of this project is to have this calming tool at every students' fingertips (literally). These calming strips that will be placed on each desk will be a means for teachers to incorporate it throughout the day. In addition, students can use it when they fill necessary.

Calm Strips are convenient and discreet fidget tools, crafted to provide sensory stimulation to help regulate restless energy and increase focus throughout the day.

Imagine a whole school utilizing textured sensory stickers to focus, regroup or calm down. We want our students' to add skills and strategies to their toolbox to self regulate.
