My Project

My students are wonderful 11th- and 12th-graders who are preparing to enter the field of technology. We are moving into a new classroom this year to have more space for our projects, but the classroom is very dated with very old furniture. The classroom still has relics of the sewing room that it used to be.

I want to bring in some furniture that makes the space feel more like a professional computer lab.

My students are also highly motivated by comfortable seating. These chairs will help bring the space up to date and make students more comfortable.
