Headphones allow students to focus, hear directions clearly, and work at their own pace without distractions. For many students, this individualized access to learning makes a significant difference in their confidence and academic growth.\r\n\r\nOne of the challenges we face in classrooms is that headphones are often not cared for properly by students, which causes them to break or go missing and requires frequent replacement. This project helped relieve that burden by ensuring students had access to functional headphones when they needed them most. Having reliable headphones allowed instruction to continue smoothly and ensured that learning time was not lost due to a lack of resources.\r\n\r\nStudents were most excited about being able to fully engage with their lessons without interruptions. Several students who struggle with focus or reading comprehension especially benefited from the headphones. Being able to listen closely to instructions and audio support helped them feel more successful and independent.
