A nice alone and quiet space with no distractions such as phone or fidget toys. Plus, food as a reward/motivation!

For my creative learning space, I decided to make a cozy reading nook. This process was more challenging than I had anticipated due to the space I had in my room already and the rearranging that went into creating the space. I have always wanted an area for reading and studying so this assignment was crucial to make my ideas come to life. I ensured it was by one of my windows to have natural reading light as well as a view of nature for inspiration for when I draw or paint in this space. I believe this space will boost my creativity and allow me to focus on course assignments that I will have throughout the quarter.

While creating this learning space, I first had to decide where to build it. I wanted it to be in a secluded, peaceful, and motivating area. I also included my bookshelf so that it can act as a reading nook as well!

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
My experience in making this space was fun, I wanted to create a relaxing and cute space that suited my likes and needs so I added blankets, candles, coloring books, a planner and my iPad to show it as a learning environment too 

# data[].attributes.body
My goal here was to design a classroom environment that was varied in its offerings, but still maintained the intersection of creativity and structure that STEAM requires.

# data[].attributes.body
For my STEAM learning environment, I rearranged my room so the things that made me most happy were in my work space (ie. my books, laptop, and although of view my PS4 with pandora playing music).

whenever i don't study at school, i'm usually at home on my bed and studying. other times, i take breaks and listening to songs. my bed is pretty big so i just wear my pajamas and study. when it comes to eating, i usually use it as my break and relax.

Wanted to try something new that's away from my desk and also comfy. Lights are off because I don't like bright lights. Plus a mini fridge

This is the learning environment I created at home. This is a picture of my desk which holds lots of arts and crafts supplies as well as notebooks for learning.

My bedroom is where I do most of my studies. I generally don’t like to have much distractions whilst studying so the peaceful and seclusion of a bedroom or study room is my favourite spot.

# data[].attributes.body
I added some of my squishmallows because they do provide me with back support when I sit on the couch. My study space is the guest room of my house. What I usually do when I study is I first light a candle in the room, to make it feel cozy and make the room smell nice. I also have to put on a form of classical music to help me focus The final thing I needed in my space was something to drink.

This is my area where I do everything! It’s a quiet place to work on homework and a spot to knit, craft, and use design software for my Cricut. To the left of this is my shelf that stores various craft supplies and learning tools. This is a familiar spot for me where I’ve always felt comfortable working on homework, crafting, and spending my time. It makes me happy!

This is an example of my learning environment. I like to study and do my assignments facing the window. It feels relax when i look outside and see birds and plants.

The picture I am submitting is from years ago of me and my older sister baking. There is many more pictures of me baking because as I said in class it is my dream to own a bakery. Baking is what I love to do and where  feel my happiest. I get to be creative and create whatever cake design or cupcake or cookie I want to. I bake when I need to relax after being stressed. It calms me down and is kind of like a therapy to me. Baking helps me clear my head so I am better able to think. It helps me do my homework more relaxed which I usually do while the cake is baking or cooling. When I am struggling with my homework or I am stressed, it helps me destress and start on my homework again.

I made a learning space in a corner in my room. I love reading, music, and coffee so I wanted to include all of those aspects into my space. I also wanted it to be by a window because I love natural lighting but I also added string lights for when the sun sets. This space definitely brings me peace and I can easily relax here.

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted to create a study space that felt comfortable and held all my favorite things. So, I created a dream space that I would like in my home. I included my plants, candles, music, and yarn for my future creative projects. I also included my cats, because they play a huge role in maintaining a positive mood. Additionally, I decided to include pictures of the people that I care about. I specifically did not include them physically in the space because I work best when I am alone with no distractions. This does not negate their importance, because if I am not feeling motivated, I can look up at the wall and see them smiling down at me.

I made a model of what my ideal classroom mirrors my elementary through high school class rooms and where I fostered my motivation for learning. Desks are lay out for table group discussion and inter group discussion as well. The teacher was also able to address the class. There were usually tables for labs or hands on activities

1. Wind down area

1. I chose materials I remember interacting with and utilizing in classroom spaces when working on steam activities. The space I chose was really the only open and available space I was able to utilize in my household. The design process was to try to maintain a comfortable space that was engaging. Below the tv area by the candle there are vinyls and various books.

2. I designed the area by myself but my cat did join on and off at various times throughout the process.

3. I believe that elementary students would not only enjoy having their thoughts and ideas being brought to these spaces but that they have the potential to help design the space as a whole.

I chose to create a space inspired by the bunk bed forts I used to build when I was younger. I would build a fort so I could have my own space, since I always shared a room. I put some childhood stuffed animals and blankets in the for to make it peaceful. I also included books, snacks, music, and my laptop.

# data[].attributes.body
For my creative learning space, I made a fort with blankets, pillows, flashlights and a laptop. I had a little help designing the fort with my little brother. We decided to add the writing tablet and a small bowl of cheetos for snack. The goal was to recreate a space that I enjoyed spending time in but also a space that I could feel comfortable and work on my laptop.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed designing this space and let creativity drive me in the creation process! My boyfriend was kind enough to help me produce this space by hanging the backdrop to bring more relaxation to the space. I loved spending time here to complete my STEAM assignments and felt relaxed, comfortable, and supported to peacefully do homework and artwork.

For my creative learning space, I usually like to have my laptop set up by the sliding door in my house. It's the part of my house that receives the most sun. I also like to bird watch. It is something I have always loved to do. I sometimes will also do my work outside when the weather permits it. I love plants and I usually have my plants all around me in my office room. I have to be in a room that has the most sunshine!

# data[].attributes.body
I made a comfy fort under my desk with a fun light. It's also near the heater so I will be nice and warm!

# data[].attributes.body
I created a cozy little reading, art nook using blankets and cushions using chairs from my kitchen to set up the blankets so it was like a little fort. I liked this little light in their too to make a more peaceful ambience.

I am very lazy, and if I wanted to take a very authentic picture I wouldn't be able to in this current date (I have to take a flight), so this is akin to a stock image for a representation. I spent a lot of time just imagining how it would look like and what its purpose would be. Being in the middle of nature is very relaxing to me, because my high school was extremely close to the local, mostly untouched woods. Having an open wall would be nice to take in refreshing air during a creative process or a class procession. There's not much going on around you, so there's very little distraction too. It's also really good to just immediately sleep in.

This was a workspace that I already was already using! Paper, pencils, paints, clay, and a doll that I am in the process of making, all stacked on a green grid mat! You can see some sketches that I did a while ago up in the top right, and the stacks of artbooks and reference books on the table next to it. There's also my saxophone and other instruments in the corner for when I need to take a break from working on a project.

# data[].attributes.body
This is where I paint (gouache and digital) and draw, scan developed film, and craft. This is also where I eat [my artistically crafted] food. My air purifier is on all the time and it doubles as a white noise maker.

I can't sit alone, so I like to sit near my family in our living room. Most of the time, I enjoy sitting here, looking outside, drinking tea, and working on my assignments while I can see my children, too.

This space is a corner in my house that I use to either read, or do homework on my laptop. It’s a cozy corner and near the fireplace. Right now, it is still decorated with Christmas decorations such as Santa and the Elf. It’s a very comfortable chair and makes me feel at peace.

(Not a personal photo but similar to my own desk space) My experience making my steam learning place was positive because it gave me a quiet place to complete homework. My design ideas for creating a peaceful learning place included having a desk space in my room so it would be quiet so that I could focus.

# data[].attributes.body
This is a example picture of my learning space I like to do most of my learning in my living room because its a open space and when I do work on my bed I feel a little more lazy.

Helps me focus.

For my learning space, I shared my laptop and a lamp with adjustable lighting to create a comfortable and well-lit environment. Behind my computer, I placed a warm curtain to give the space a cozy, calming feel, which helps me stay focused and relaxed during my work.

# data[].attributes.body
This is my learning space. I do all of my schoolwork here, and I like to have the lamp light on because it sets the mood for my learning and not having a big bright light on. I like working with only one other person in the room even though sometimes there are four people in the room because I do like working alone, but it can sometimes get too quiet if there is no one else around.

# data[].attributes.body
I designed a place that was simple and comfortable. Since I have ADHD it can be overwhelming to work in a really busy space. I built this with my boyfriend. I think kids would think my learning space is funny and comfortable. I think they would like the dog bed.

# data[].attributes.body
In my ideal learning space, I would be on my bed with a cozy blanket. I have fairy lights on my wall and have a candle lit, and my plush bear, just for that cozy aesthetic. I have my laptop beside me so I can do homework and a water bottle so I can keep myself hydrated. When I need a break from homework, I complete a page out of my sudoku book. I love sudoku.
