The new shelving system has helped us neatly store and access our growing collection of STEM materials—from craft supplies to robotics parts—making project prep smoother and more efficient for both students and teacher.\r\n\r\nThe adjustable workbench has become a favorite spot for students to work independently on research, sketch their invention ideas, and collaborate on class projects. Soon, this space will become the launchpad for our LEGO SPIKE robotics builds, allowing students to code, test, and iterate their creations in a space designed for innovation.\r\n\r\nWhen students saw the setup, they were amazed. One exclaimed, \"It feels like we're in a real lab!\" Thank you for helping turn our classroom into a space where curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking come to life.
