4 challenges and solutions for optimising limited learning spaces.
The world of education presents diverse challenges for schools. Time management, curriculum design, balancing various learning needs of the pupils, space restrictions, the need for flexible learning tools and many more! At WF Education we want to help create an educational environment where we can provide a solution to some of the challenges teachers face.
The Akira™ WorkStation offers a versatile and practical approach to improving the teaching experience. We have compiled a list of potential challenges educators may struggle with, and how the Akira™ system can provide support creating optimal learning environments in the face of obstacles.
Space limitations in the classroom
PROBLEM: Limited space availability for a full laser cutter model.
SOLUTION: Akira™ mobile WorkStation addresses this issue, offering a compact desktop, mobile setup on castors. Educators can utilise the technology without the need for a fixed, dedicated D&T workroom.
Interdepartmental limited access to resources
PROBLEM: Teachers from across STEAM fields may face challenges accessing dedicated CAD/CAM spaces for their subject purposes.
SOLUTION: A portable workstation with integrated desktop laser, power and storage provides a movable solution, allowing teachers to bring the technology directly to the classroom space.
Storage restrictions for consumables
PROBLEM: Lack of room to store additional, subject and activity-related resources.
SOLUTION: The WorkStation reduces the need for additional storage units within the classroom, as the unit itself is equipped with underbench storage for consumables.
Obstructions to collaborative learning and flexibility
PROBLEM: Traditional classroom layouts might limit the collaborative learning and flexibility in adapting to different teaching styles.
SOLUTION: Bringing the laser cutting technology to different areas of the school. The WorkStation offers flexibility for teachers to adapt their teaching methods and engage students in interactive, creative activities anywhere in the school.
Flexibility in the classroom is of utmost importance to support the learning processes. Akira™ WorkStation allow for customisation of the space to suit the activities anywhere, at any time. The first WorkStation can go a long way, it allows for configuration of classroom environment to stimulate engagement and hands-on experience for the students, and makes teachers’ work easier!
