Tables for Tinkering, Teamwork, and Tech

Help me give my students sturdy classroom tables to support hands-on STEM projects, teamwork, and flexible learning. They will transform our space into a functional lab where creativity and collaboration thrive.

My Project

I teach middle school students (grades 6–8) in a small, rural district where access to STEM resources has been very limited. This is our first-ever dedicated STEM lab, and my students are incredibly excited to explore hands-on learning in robotics, engineering, and design. However, our current space is not functional for collaborative work or project-based learning. We need sturdy classroom tables that allow students to work in teams, spread out materials, and engage in real-world problem solving. These tables will help create a true lab space where innovation and creativity can thrive.
