What is STEM?
STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. These four areas have been combined to create STEM learning, where teachers focus on providing students with real-world activities that help develop problem-solving skills. STEM is used in schools and classrooms to promote creativity and innovation with hands-on learning opportunities for students and out-of-the-box thinking. It is important that students who are participating in STEM learning have a proper workspace. They need an area with a large desktop space that allows many students to work at a time, as most activities are done as a group or with partners. Today’s Classroom has a variety of STEM tables for you to choose from to best support your students' needs.
STEM Tables We Carry
We carry many different types of STEM tables for classroom use, including:
- Sensory Play Tables- For elementary use, sensory play tables bring exploration and curiosity to life within young students. Fill the sensory bins with sand, water, paper, etc to give students a hands-on sensory experience.
- Chemistry Lab Tables- With desktops that are chemical and heat resistant, these tables are the best option for any higher science classes.
- Drafting Tables- Often found in art and woodworking classrooms. The adjustable tabletop makes these ideal for drawing as the tables work with you to create a comfortable position to work.
- Dry Erase- The perfect STEM table for math and science class, as the tabletop itself is a whiteboard. Easily solve math problems right on the table, in a large space where you can easily write out the steps and see what you are doing.
The table tops are made of high-quality materials such as high-pressure laminate or butcher block, which ensures the tables are able to withstand a number of different experiments and activities that are involved in STEM learning. The tables are available with different features such as:
- Adjustable height
- Chemical and heat-resistant surfaces
- Wheels with full locking capability
- Shelves and storage
- Removable bins
Each of these features optimizes the tables and makes them the perfect workspace for your students, no matter what grade level. STEM tables help bring learning and creativity to life while allowing students to explore and ditch the typical paper and pencil activities. Pair with one of our classroom chairs or active seating options to ensure students are comfortable while they learn!
