My Project

Playing in kindergarten is the essential mode of education. Students learn best through manipulating objects and playing with others. A light table is a very engaging space for kids to be able to collaborate and play! Light tables also offer a way to teach students about STEM and science.

The table lights up in beautiful colors as students build with glowing pattern blocks, addition equations with glowing dominos, and read with glowing numbers.

It is such a cool way to encourage learning with others. This light table is big enough to fit 4 learners at a time. With color changing options and these translucent materials students will love the learning they are doing. I would love to provide this new learning experience for my kindergarteners!
