ALL BOOKS & HANDS-ON LISTS > STORAGE SOLUTIONS FOR BOOKS AND HANDS-ON LEARNING
Many schools employ sustainability initiatives that aim to reduce the environmental impact of their operations, improve health and wellness, and educate students on eco-friendly practices. Using products made from bamboo makes a real impact on environmental efforts, replacing storage and facilities products made from metal or plastic with sustainable products made from a natural, eco-friendly material. Bamboo is carbon neutral, absorbing more carbon dioxide than they produce while emitting 35% more oxygen than trees. It is fast-growing and self-generating, and can regrow in 3-5 years after harvesting, compared to wood forests, which can take up to 25 years.
Beyond its environmental benefits, bamboo has a unique combination of flexibility and durability, making it an ideal material for many products that support hands-on learning activities. Examples of popular bamboo products for Makerspaces and hands-on learning activities include:
Bamboo Carts: Carts are essential to the success of any hands-on learning space, used for storage and displaying students’ models and crafts. Mobile carts add vitality to the hands-on spaces, letting students move equipment like 3-D printers and laser cutters wherever needed.
Bamboo Easels: Whether used to support whiteboards, paper, or canvas or display visual aids, easels enhance students' creative, collaborative, and presentation efforts.
Bamboo Shelving: Storage areas are crucial for hands-on learning. They help organize the space and reduce clutter to create an environment that lets students focus on the task at hand.
