My Project

My students love to learn and grow. They are excited about participating in our classroom and work hard everyday. The Nex Playground will give them a chance to get moving and stay motivated. The Nex Playground helps incorporate technology and help prepare my students for the future. Nex Playground transforms traditional classrooms into dynamic, play-powered learning environments where students stay active, engaged, and excited about learning! The Nex Playground combines motion sensors with physical play and bridges the gap between tech based and hands on learning. This system encourages movement and supports learning through physical play. The Nex playground would be the perfect addition to my classroom.
