With a bit more creativity and innovation, our school classrooms could do this, too.
A classroom of such flexible-use design would signal to learners that exercise, movement, and kinetics are invaluable parts of being and learning. I was inspired to think of such a classroom by reading this piece on FastCo Co.Design: “Sweating The Details: This Workstation Doubles As A Personal Gym.”
What if we reconfigured classroom furniture to use energy rather than squelch it?
