My Project

In today's educational landscape, creating inclusive and engaging learning environments is important for the success of all students. Research has consistently shown the importance of tailoring learning environments to the unique needs of the students using them.

A standing whiteboard desk and ergonomic stools will provide students with a collaborative space for brainstorming, problem-solving, and interactive learning activities.

The standing desk and stools will promote movement and circulation and will be beneficial to students who sometimes struggle with sitting for extended periods of time.

Fluorescent lights can be harsh and overwhelming to students, particularly for those students with sensory sensitivities and visual impairments. By diffusing the light, with light covers, we can reduce glare and minimize visual distractions, making it easier for students to stay focused and engage in lessons. By incorporating an LED light strip we can delineate different areas of the room and make it easier for students to navigate and orient themselves. Also we can create an inviting and dynamic space that stimulates learning and creativity.
