Watching Children Learn!

Help me give my students the armless chairs to do group work and be comfortable at the same time with the stiff iron and cement chairs the students use.

My Project

The Armless Multi Task Chairs and Sadie High-Back Task Chair will set the foundation of a comfortable atmosphere for students to do group work. It will be easy to maneuver around the room.

Students can adjust the height and back for their comfort "like real world" employment situations.

It will not be a school look, more of a relaxed learning environment.

This will also be an addition/help for different learning styles. The objective is to have the look of "Hospitality", a cruise ship, hotel lobby, etc. Travel and Tourism, Hospitality and Management, and Social Media Marketing will be the objective of this class room set up.
