Classroom in Need of Fans!

Help me give my students fans for their classroom so they can learn in a cool environment. The school does not have central air and the room retains heat.

My Project

The goal for this project is to receive fans I can include in my sensory room so students can learn, play, and explore in a cool, comfortable environment during their school routine. The plan is to space out the fans in order to circulate cool air in the room.

The problem at hand is that the school does not have central air, and the building retains heat throughout the year.

This classroom is also located on the second floor, which also becomes naturally hotter as heat rises.

Accessing these fans will support cooling down the room, thus improving students' focus levels, regulation levels, and comfortability for optimal participation in this room. I picked these fans specifically to mount on the walls - an item option that the school cannot provide me at this time.

Thank you so much for supporting me in achieving this project goal!
