My Project

This project will help bring the classroom environment to life by adding clip on desk lamps to students desks. I'm working to create an engaging learning environment free from fluorescent overhead classroom lights. Fluorescent lights can create a work environment undesirable for reading and writing. These individual desk lamps will provide an amber ambient lighting that is creates an inviting personal environment for completing work. Our classroom will feature a warm library feel where students can dig in with their reading assignments and writing assignments. An inviting environment can make or break a great learning day!
