STEM Engineers Need Stools

Help me give my students wobble chairs for safe, flexible seating for our new STEM Lab.

My Project

We are in our first year of implementing a STEM lab in our school. We have many different materials for our students to explore, but our seating options are a challenge. My students plan, design, and build challenges given to them. They prefer to stand at the table or get on the floor while building the challenges, and therefore they push their chairs out of the way. The chairs take up too much floor space. If my students had stools, they would easily fit under the table, providing us much needed floor space. The stools will also help with the wiggles that always come when they are excited about something new and creative. I have observed many STEM labs and stools are a very important seating choice for our students.

Please consider helping us establish a great and fun STEM lab at our school.
