Help me give my students a desk bike because we have students who struggle to focus and need a way to move while learning, which helps them stay engaged and improve their attention.

My Project
Many of my students struggle to stay focused because they need to move. Desk bikes would allow them to remain active while learning, helping to improve their concentration and overall engagement. These bikes would provide a way for students to channel their energy in a productive manner, making it easier for them to focus on their work. My goal is to create a classroom environment where all students, especially those who find it challenging to sit still for long periods, can learn and succeed in a way that works best for them.
