My Project
Comfortable seating may seem simple, but it can have a big impact on how students learn.
By providing cozy, supportive chairs, I aim to create a classroom environment where students can focus better, feel more at ease, and stay engaged for longer periods.
The goal of this project is to reduce physical discomfort and distractions, making our learning space more welcoming and student-friendly. My students are special because they come to school every day eager to learn, collaborate, and grow, even when the environment isn’t ideal. They deserve a classroom that supports their efforts—and that starts with a good seat.
