Smart Seats for Science

Help me give my students stools so they can easily move between lab stations and group work. These maximize space, promote collaboration, and support dynamic, hands-on nature of science activities.

My Project

In our dynamic science lab, students need to move seemlessly between hands-on experiments, group discussions, and collaborative projects. Traditional chairs limit flexibility, while stools encourage mobility and maximize space. With stools, our lab will transform into an adaptable environment where students can easily shift between activities, fostering creativity, collaboration, and engagement.

The goal of this project is to create a classroom that supports active learning and encourages student-driven exploration.

By providing stools, we aim to remove physical barriers, allowing students to take ownership of the learning space and fully immerse themselves in scientific inquiry.

My students are incredibly special. They are curious, driven, and eager to tackle real-world problems through science. From exploring sustainable farming to understanding food equity, they approach challenges with enthusiasm and ingenuity. They aren't just learning science; they are using it to make a difference in their community.

This small change - introducing stools - can have a significant impact, transforming our classroom into a hub for exploration, discovery, and teamwork.
