The Challenge

From classroom chaos to sensory support

Challenge #1

Inside the classroom Vector

Classrooms can feel busy and overwhelming for some students, making it harder to focus and fully engage in learning.

Nook creates calming, supportive spaces within the classroom, that reduces audible and visual distractions, helping students learn in a way that best suits them.

Challenge #2

David O'Coimin

I care about the spaces where we work, learn, heal and play. I am certain that with a more scientific and inclusive approach, these spaces can help to unlock our potential, helping us to improve performance and feel a greater sense of

I focus on Inclusivity, improving work/life balance, knowledge sharing, powerful partnerships and being a good ancestor to the future. I believe that 'design for the extreme benefits the mean', which to me means if we design with atypical requirements in mind, we end up with solutions which work better for all.
