The desk that primes the brain for learning

Why build a desk that primes the brain for learning?

  • Seven million US school children have ADHD and related disorders

  • Almost half of these children have behavior problems at school

  • 4 in 10 children with ADHD also have anxiety

In short, schools are overwhelmed by students’ academic and behavioral challenges.

EDGY is the innovation teachers — and administrators — are looking for. In the form of a desk.

EDGY is part of the rapidly growing neuroeducational movement. The projected value of that market by 2032:

$3 Billion

Proven Benefits of Brain-Based Movement

Active Lessons Increase Math & Language Skills

"After 2 years, children had significantly greater gains in math speed test, math achievement, and spelling scores." Physically Active Math and Language Lessons Improve Academic Achievement: A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial, Mullender-Wijnsma et al, 2016

More time on task, better behavior, and higher academic achievement

The active lessons intervention group showed a 4-month increase in learning gains compared to the inactive control group. (Mullender-Wijnsma, 2016).

In-Class Physical Activity Increases Time on Task

Effect of in-class activity among least on-task students after 8 weeks of intervention. Effects of a Classroom-Based Program on Physical Activity and On-Task Behavior, Mahar et al, 2006
Students improved Time on Task by approximately 20% during physically active lessons. (Mahar et al, 2006).

In-Class Physical Activity Improves Behavior

Percent change in teacher rating of student behaviors (Uses Time Efficiently, Follows Directions, and Uses Cooperative Skills). The Effects of Physical Activity on Learning Behaviors in Elementary School Children: a Randomized Controlled Trial, Harvey et al, 2017
Students participating in physically active lessons displayed significant improvement in classroom behavior. (Harvey et al, 2017).
