Students begin to strengthen their observation, critical thinking, and communication skills. Learning becomes less about receiving information and more about asking questions, connecting ideas, taking part in discussions, and expressing individual perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is also a stage when students become more self-aware, develop closer friendships, and take on more active roles in group activities. An effective learning environment should therefore help them feel confident, connected, and empowered to explore new knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Translating this understanding into practice, BOHO developed flexible interior design and construction solutions that support various learning formats, from independent study and group work to discussions and hands-on activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Classrooms were designed to adapt to different learning activities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Movable furniture was selected to suit students\u2019 physical proportions, habits, and ways of learning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Materials were chosen for safety, durability, and ease of maintenance within a school environment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lighting, color, and acoustic performance were carefully considered to create comfortable and inviting spaces that support concentration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"

SSIS students and teachers. In renovating the building, BOHO retained the red-tiled roof as a familiar feature of the original architecture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This design decision preserves a connection to the building\u2019s history while giving the learning environment a distinctive identity.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Existing Concrete Surfaces<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within the MakerSpace and Spark Lab, the design team retained several existing features, including the roof structure, concrete surfaces, and parts of the exposed technical systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silver-clad air ducts, exposed pipes, and industrial lighting give the spaces an open, practical, and experimental character that reflects the spirit of STEAM education. Rather than being treated merely as technical components, these elements become part of the learning experience. They turn the surrounding environment into a source of curiosity, encouraging students to consider how spaces are constructed and how the systems within them operate.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/boho.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ssis-upper-elementary-final-11-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"MakerSpace with exposed concrete surfaces and technical systems reflecting STEAM education\" class=\"wp-image-12035 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/boho.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ssis-upper-elementary-final-11-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/boho.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ssis-upper-elementary-final-11-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/boho.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ssis-upper-elementary-final-11-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/boho.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ssis-upper-elementary-final-11-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/boho.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ssis-upper-elementary-final-11-1-1185x790.jpg 1185w, https:\/\/boho.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ssis-upper-elementary-final-11-1-290x193.jpg 290w, https:\/\/boho.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ssis-upper-elementary-final-11-1-392x261.jpg 392w, https:\/\/boho.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ssis-upper-elementary-final-11-1-1050x700.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/boho.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ssis-upper-elementary-final-11-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Creating an environment that nurtures curiosity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For BOHO, a successful learning environment goes beyond visual appeal and functionality.
