My Project

This is the second year that our computer headphones have been used and the cords are getting twisted which in turn makes it so they are glitchy and don't work very well. The students are very good at putting their headphones away, but in doing that the cords get wrapped around the headphones and then they start to twist together.

During testing, noise-canceling headphones would be beneficial to block out any unnecessary noises.

Sometimes, we need to get up and stretch or use the bathroom and the noise of the chairs or table could bother someone unless they had on noise-canceling headphones.
