Rise To The Occasion!

Help me give my students special seating during music class so that they can rehearse in the music room and also use these flipForms for transitional use in creative performances.

My Project

These flipForms will be amazing pieces of equipment in my everyday classroom and performance areas because of the ease in moving them and the ways they can be transformed for unique staging.

They will provide seating for my double classes on a regular basis but will also be used in different ways because they flip in to steps, a flat raised stage, and also the traditional riser.

With 450 students that I teach and the many performances that we present for our school friends and families, these flipforms will virtually transform our tiny cafetorium into an amazing facility for performances and concerts.
