Stand2Learn is a revolutionary idea compared to 'old school' thinking. Stand2Learn desks are stand-biased giving the student the option to sit or stand in a classroom resulting in improved mobility, increased alertness, better focus on instruction & greater calorie burn rates.
Dr. Mark Benden, assistant professor at the EOH Department, School of Rural Public Health at the Texas A&M Health Science Center, is the master mind behind this unique design for the Stand2Learn desk. We are a Texas-based company whose product was born from the classroom through various iterations based on teacher and student feedback. Dr. Benden started this project over 3 years ago in elementary schools as a concept to fight childhood obesity and increase student focus. The concept has since grown into the development of 2 US Patented desk versions to accommodate Kinder through adults, and has several Patent Pending products in the pipeline for school and office.
Stand2Learn desks are a radical change from the old days of "Little House on the Prairie" wooden one-size fits all desks. As technological changes consume our schools, the basics of seating need a change as well. For further information, please contact us at (214)785-2125.
