My Project

The under-desk bike and under-desk elliptical machine will provide students with a unique way to stay active while working, which can significantly enhance their focus and productivity. By allowing students to engage in low-impact physical activity without leaving their desks, these tools help manage restlessness and improve concentration. This active approach to learning can lead to better engagement, increased energy levels, and a more dynamic classroom environment, ultimately supporting academic success and overall well-being.

My primary goals are to promote a healthier and more engaging learning environment and to help students channel their energy in a positive way.

I aim to enhance students’ ability to concentrate and stay on task by integrating physical activity into their daily routine. Additionally, I seek to create an inclusive space that accommodates various learning styles and needs, fostering both physical and academic growth.

My students are a vibrant and energetic group, full of curiosity and enthusiasm. They thrive in environments that offer interactive and innovative learning experiences. Their unique ability to embrace new ideas and adapt to different learning styles makes them particularly receptive to incorporating physical activity into their academic routine. This project will cater to their diverse needs and capitalize on their eagerness to learn, helping them achieve their full potential while staying active and engaged.
