Bringing Learning Environments to Life
Bringing Learning Environments to Life: A Hands on Experience on the Show Floor
The “Bringing Learning Environments to Life” space at EDspaces 2024 aims to transform the perception of furniture as a key educational tool by integrating it with instructional technology.
This interactive, hands-on experience will demonstrate how flexible, adaptive learning spaces can enhance instruction and support 21st Century Skills and SEL (Social Emotional Learning) development. Attendees will engage in various sessions focused on modern educational strategies like project-based learning and STEM.
Through a collaboration between MiEN, OnPoint, and EDspaces, the space will showcase how educational technology and adaptable furniture can be used together to create dynamic, student-centered learning environments. The goal is to inspire participants to rethink and redesign learning spaces to better support instructional objectives.

The space is designed to support an immersive and functional area where people are able to move around easily and select areas of interest and/or move mobile furniture around to create a multitude of setups supporting different interactions, learning strategies, objectives, and 21st century skills.
The goal of the space is to inspire attendees to rethink how they design and implement learning environments. By experiencing the space firsthand, participants will see how integrating flexible furniture and technology can support instructional design, professional development, and Social Emotional Learning (SEL). The space encourages a fresh perspective on how these elements can be strategically used to enhance both student engagement and the development of key skills.
