Flexible Seats for Those Who Learn on Their Feet!

Help me give my students flexible seating options. I want students to have other options to help them focus whether or not that is the option to stand or to sit on the floor with a cushion.

My Project

My students are fun and energetic but sometimes that makes it hard to focus and learn. To combat that I want to provide them more than the traditional seat options. For some students standing helps them focus. For some they want to be able to sit on the floor or be able to fidget a bit. These options will allow students to be able to do these things so they can focus on learning. My students will be able focus on reading and researching in these new seating options with comfort and ease.

Between standing desks and items to sit on, this project will allow students the flexibility to choose where and how to sit.

This project gives different levels so students can sit on the floor or stand depending on their needs and wants for the day.
