Multimedia Arts + Design + MooreCo's Thrive Philosophy
How do multimedia arts + design courses meet the developmental needs of
Career & Technical Education (CTE) students?
CTE courses provide a dynamic platform for young minds to explore and express their creativity, fostering critical and innovative thinking, visual literacy, and emotional intelligence. Students gain technical proficiency in areas such as graphic design, digital media applications, video, and animation. Beyond technical expertise, students learn how to convey their ideas, emotions, and messages visually. These advanced communication skills are transferable to other contexts, such as interpersonal skills, public speaking, and writing.
As students explore their individual talents and interests, they are engaging in self-expression and self-discovery. The creative process often requires perseverance and resilience, teaching students how to overcome challenges and embrace failure as a part of growth. Courses in the arts contribute significantly to the holistic development of students, preparing them for the multifaceted challenges of the workforce.
How does MooreCo outfit a multimedia arts + design classroom to meet the developmental needs of students?
MooreCo offers products that respond to the rapidly changing needs of technology-focused classrooms. Furnishings adapt to support the latest hardware so students can stay connected. Brainstorming and ideating are vital in these industries. Collaborative workstations with whiteboards foster innovative group work and will sharpen the critical thinking and problem-solving skills necessary to succeed outside of the classroom.
Akt Tables are built to maximize collaboration and creativity. The small profile and added casters allow the tables to be moved and rearranged easily to create groups. Pull tables apart for an uninterrupted flow of creative energy.
Add Hierarchy 4-Leg Stools for a flexible, ergonomic seating solution that allows for position changes and increasing focus and motivation.
A standing workstation has been shown to increase circulation, mood, focus, and productivity. Standing height Compass Makerspace Tables allow students to choose their most comfortable working height. Add pegboard side panels and hooks to keep supplies handy or belongings off the floor.
Pair a standing table with an Elate Perch Stool for a dynamic, highly active workstation. The perch takes weight off the feet, but allows students to lean, reach, twist, and turn easily. These micro-movements help right-brained students expend bursts of energy and stay focused.
Create the ideal setup for one-on-ones between students and instructors. The Compass Single Cabinet Teacher Desk provides ample space for demonstrations, keeps sensitive materials behind a locked door, and is it easy to move to different teaching zones. Pair with the Elate Task Chair for a fully customizing comfort experience.
Students love our Hierarchy Grow Stool® for informal catch-ups. The lightweight stool goes where it is needed or can be tucked under a table. It height adjusts to accommodate users of all sizes, and wobbles to help excel energy and maintain focus.
Creative ideas flow when things are organized. Store resources, art supplies, and projects in versatile, customizable Compass Cabinets. Mix-and-match interior configurations with shelves, cubbies, or tubs. Add accessorizes to meet your unique needs: casters and handles for easy mobility, a butcher block top for added workspace, locking doors, whiteboard back panel for brainstorming space, or pegboard sides for added storage. Durable and easy to clean, keep messy supplies secure, organized, and accessible.
Turn blank walls into a place of inspiration and innovation with the Liso Classroom Series Glass Wall. With superior writability and no ghosting, students can brainstorm ideas and work through problems with a magnetic glass whiteboard that is equal parts style and functionality.
