Workshop + MooreCo's Thrive Philosophy

How do workshop courses meet the
developmental needs of
Career & Technical Education (CTE) students?

In an increasingly digital world, workshop courses provide a tangible and tactile experience that nurtures a strong work ethic and a passion for craftsmanship. Students apply mathematics and geometry to practical skills that build safety and spatial awareness, hand-eye coordination, and fine motors skills. Projects demand precision and attention to detail. Students learn the importance of accuracy and patience, which can translate into better work habits in other areas.

Workshop programs are incredibly empowering and personally fulfilling, which prepares students for a lifetime of self-sufficiency that will filter into other aspects of their lives. Students who are invested in workshop gain an interest in responsible resource use which leads to conversations in global environmental and sustainability practices.

How does MooreCo outfit a workshop to meet the developmental needs of students?

MooreCo products are designed to endure the physical demands of a workshop yet create a comfortable, ergonomic learning environment. Safety is paramount and products are durable and sturdy enough to withstand wear and tear. Profiles are sleek and practical to adapt and move as needed. A variety of customizable storage solutions allow students to build a safe, personal workstation.

Compass Makerspace Tables come in a variety of sizes and heights to fit the needs of any workshop project. Essential for heavy, loud tools, butcher block tabletops are durable, sturdy, and quieter than traditional laminate tabletops. Add peg board side panels to keep bags off the ground or keep supplies within arm's reach.

Create a custom, mobile supply station with durable Compass Cabinets. Choose between three width and three heights and interior configurations of shelves, cubbies, or tubs. Never stop to look for a missing tool again! 

Complete your workstation with Hierarchy 4-Leg Stools. The sleek, ergonomic solution allows students to freely move, reach, twist, and turn.

The versatility of Compass Cabinets and Folio Cabinet Storage make them a must have in a busy workshop. Add butcher block tabletops for an on-demand, mobile workspace.

Specialized CTE courses often require equipment that needs to be safely and securely stored. Mix and match Folio Cabinets storage solutions to keep dangerous tools behind locked doors.

No workshop is complete without whiteboards to doodle, design, and share ideas. Let the Ogee Easel be your muse! This elegantly double-sided porcelain steel whiteboard maximizes writing surface by curving gently outwards the floor. Casters allow you to quickly move where the brainstorming happens!

Create, communicate, and collaborate with our Liso Classroom Series Glass Wall system. A wall-to-wall glass board turns any CTE classroom into an incubator of cutting-edge ideas. 

The D.O.C. Glass Mobile Room Divider gives instructors freedom to divide, organize, and customize the space for different group projects, while using a superior writing surface with unbeatable erasability. The surface accepts magnets and is easy to clean.
