My Project

I will be the new 6th grade art teacher at a middle school. I am so fortunate to be getting EVERY SINGLE 6th GRADER in the art room!!!! 6th grade is an awkward time for most pre-teens. I'd love to turn my new art room into a fun, safe, colorful and welcoming place for everyone.

I believe that small, simple, adjustments like lighting and music can turn any classroom from 'meh' to 'yeah!' and the speakers and LED lights will be the perfect addition!

The narrow, color changing LED lights can be programmed to any color or even synced to change with music....the speakers will allow me to share music with my students. The other LED adds to the overall ambience, and the work bench will serve as a standing desk area where I can conference with and assist students.
