Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

This project involves attaching pre-cut tennis balls to the bottom of chair legs to serve as buffers between the chairs and the floor. This simple yet effective solution is widely used in educational, medical, and senior care settings. The primary goal is to create a quieter, more comfortable, and floor-friendly environment.

There are so many benefits with these chair balls.

They include the following:

• Noise Reduction: Helps eliminate the scraping sound of chairs being moved, improving concentration and communication.

• Floor Protection: Prevents scratches and damage on tile, linoleum, wood, and other flooring materials.

• Enhanced Mobility: Makes it easier for individuals to slide chairs, which is especially helpful in classrooms and senior care settings.
