My Project

Students need new chairs as part of a flexible seating arrangement because their current seats are broken and uncomfortable, significantly impacting their ability to focus and learn effectively. Many of the existing chairs are damaged, leading to uneven support, instability, and distractions that make it difficult for students to concentrate during lessons. A flexible seating environment with modern, functional chairs would allow students to choose seating that suits their learning style, whether they prefer to sit upright for focus or work in a more relaxed position for collaboration. Replacing the broken chairs with flexible seating options would not only improve comfort but also promote a more dynamic, engaging learning environment, fostering better academic performance and overall well-being.
