A STEM/STEAM classroom is a space where students design, build and work in teams. The furniture is different — mobile, reconfigurable, with smart storage. Here is what such a classroom needs and how to equip it step by step.
Classroom zoning
- Project zone — mobile transformable tables for group work.
- Lab zone — tables with moisture- and chemical-resistant surfaces.
- Presentation zone — an interactive panel or board.
- Storage zone — shelving and cabinets for kits and tools.
