Fueling Financial Futures

My Project

Group tables help students learn by fostering collaboration, communication, and problem-solving. Working together in small groups encourages peer-to-peer teaching, boosts critical thinking, and allows students to share different perspectives. This interactive environment supports deeper understanding, enhances social skills, and often leads to more personalized learning experiences as students can ask questions and receive immediate feedback from both peers and the teacher.

The mobile laptop cart will give my students who need to stand and/or move the ability to focus and reduce restlessness.

The movement will stimulate their cognitive functions, boost their mood and overall mental well-being. By keeping students up and engaged there will be more participation and higher retention of information.
