An important concept of the STEM program is the type of environment being used. To be able to engage in this new style of learning, the classroom needs to be able to be reconfigured quickly and uniquely based on the lesson being taught. STEM may require large group work, small group work and other collaborative work. New classroom furniture is being developed to help with this collaborative style being implemented in the classroom.
New M7 Vision Color Marker Board Tables are a great way to incorporate STEM into the classroom. These bright colored tables are Common Core compliant, allowing for easy, quick correction of peers or instructors, and the dry-erase surface encourages interaction, engagement, and learning. Implementing color into the classroom makes learning more enjoyable and tends to make students more attentive to what they are learning.
New storage units are being designed to hold equipment and art supplies for STEM classrooms. The units are mobile, allowing for classrooms to share units as well as to move them throughout the classroom for easier access by the students. They come equipped with multiple bin storage spaces to keep things easily accessible and organized. They allow for both large and small art supplies to be stored. Some also come with a marker board attached to easily display assignments or list what supplies are available in each specific cart.
