Increase motivation and learning success through holistic movement sequences.
SMARTfloor enhances movement patterns at every educational level.
Movement enhances students’ cognitive performance by improving brain circulation and increasing concentration. That’s why we developed SMARTfloor, a system that can be seamlessly integrated into lesson plans, in alignment with country-specific curricula, without disrupting the flow or overburdening teachers with organization. Particularly in STEM subjects (Mathematics, Computer Science, Natural Sciences, Technology), the integration of movement through SMARTfloor during lessons leads to better learning outcomes and improved problem-solving abilities. Students who incorporate movement with SMARTfloor into their curriculum better understand complex concepts and develop skills that are advantageous in their careers. Thus, the combination of theoretical knowledge and physical activity boosts both academic performance and future career success.
New Learning Success with SMARTfloor
Children, especially boys, learn better through movement, as a study from the University of Eastern Finland shows. These students struggle to process information when forced to sit still. To address this need for movement, we developed SMARTfloor—a 3mm thick, large-area underlay that can be installed beneath floor coverings such as PVC, linoleum, carpet, laminate, parquet, or tiles. The integrated sensors track students’ movements and present the data through interactive games, such as reaction games, sprint activities, and skill challenges. This stimulates physical activity and enhances cognitive processes. In higher education levels, the applications can be made more complex and supplemented with additional sensors, wearables, and digital output devices to enrich teaching flexibly and pragmatically.
Achieve Greater Success in Life through Movement
A healthy mind in a healthy body provides the best foundation for future career success. Combining movement sequences with teaching units is the goal. The solution for an easy implementation is SMARTfloor. The video demonstrates the joy with which students engage in the movement activities.
Added value of SMARTfloor in schools
SMARTfloor serves a variety of school requirements and needs, from the promotion of creativity and media skills to the integration of movement and interactive learning methods. It offers a future-oriented addition to the school day that both enriches the curriculum and is fun for pupils.
Promotion of interactive and playful learning methods
Pupils learn best when they are actively involved. SMARTfloor enables playful learning. This increases pupils’ motivation and engagement, especially with complex or abstract topics.
Individual support and differentiation
Different learning levels and styles require flexible learning methods. SMARTfloor can be adapted to different abilities and interests to enable personalized learning.
Promoting creativity and problem-solving skills
Pupils should not only absorb knowledge, but also solve problems creatively and independently. By being able to program games and applications themselves, pupils learn to think creatively and develop technological solutions to problems.
Integration of digitalization and media literacy
Schools need to teach digital skills to prepare pupils for the future. SMARTfloor teaches digital skills such as programming, technical understanding and media use.
Promoting cooperation and social skills
Teamwork and social skills are essential in education. Through group activities and interactive games, SMARTfloor promotes communication and collaboration between students.
Integrating exercise and health into everyday school life
Schools need to integrate movement into everyday life to promote pupils’ health and concentration. SMARTfloor can support movement games and sports activities, leading to more activity and better concentration.
Promotion of natural sciences and STEM education
Schools need to make STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) attractive and hands-on. With SMARTfloor, pupils can experience physical concepts, mathematics or programming through interactive simulations.
Inclusion and accessibility
Schools need to include all students, regardless of physical or cognitive ability. SMARTfloor can be used for inclusive games and applications that take different needs into account.
Effective use of modern technologies
Schools need to integrate modern technology into the classroom in a meaningful way. SMARTfloor offers an innovative way of integrating technology directly into learning and leisure activities.
Each movement program can be optimally tailored to country-specific curricula.
