School years are often considered to be the best years of life. Even after many years, it is nice to remember the people, events, failures and success at school. And sometimes it is curious to imagine what life would be if the school years were not over yet. Especially, when the technologies go ahead and fill every sphere of life with such amazing bright ideas.

Slides Instead of Stairs

Technical University in Munich put two huge slides in their building instead of regular stairs. Just imagine the fun everyone has getting down a few times per day and seeing the university staff doing the same. This definitely sets a different atmosphere and helps to enjoy the education process.

Homework Barcode

A little barcode on top of the homework paper takes to an instructional YouTube video when scanned. The teacher created a series of videos explaining each topic and uploaded to his channel to help students understand the material better and succeed with the course. Surely, why not use the technologies when it is so easy these days?

Kindergarten Around a Tree

What if a kindergarten was built around the tree? Japanese kids already have one. It is a huge playground with many stairs and areas to run or sit. Such a simple construction teaches the little ones to respect nature, observe different seasons changing, notice the full cycle of leaves growing and falling down, breathe the fresh air and play in a natural shade.

Anti-stress box

Exams can be pretty stressful sometimes. Some students get through them easily while others bite their nails or pencils, lose appetite or have wet hands. One university in California put a box filled with bubble wrap to help students get over exam stress. The label on it says ''Clinically' proven up to 100% effective' and who would argue with that statement?

Mirror on the Ceiling

Cooking classes can be pleasant and even relaxing at times when the chef is doing the magic and students watch and repeat. But it is not easy to have a crowd of people around the table trying not to miss any detail. That is why one student class in Chicago has a mirror on the ceiling so the students could sit as in a regular class and still see everything the teacher is doing on the table. Such an easy thing makes the whole process a lot better for everyone.

Creative Lockers

School lockers can be just a grey and boring part of the wall or they can be a masterpiece. This school painted the lockers as book spines creating an 'Avenue of Literature' where everyone has a unique locker color and title. This creative idea looks good and motivates to at least read the book the student has on his or her locker not to mention all the rest.

Writing Service

Remember the nights having to write an important essay paper and having no idea what to write? Now some useful services like Pro-Papers solve this problem for many students offering a good writing service to help with any kind of assignment. Any topic is covered by top academic writers and delivered on time. Who wouldn't use this little help having a lot of other things to do?

Stairs for Everyone

If a couple of decades ago there were fast and slow people on the stairs, now there are also the texting people. And sometimes it gets challenging to get stuck behind them being in a rush to come to class in time. One school in New York divided all stairs on campus into three lines and named them Walk, Run, and Text. Just choose your way and go.

Slides to the Playground

One more slide in this list is a childhood dream come true. It goes from the classroom directly to the playground. Just a second brings the whole new surroundings with well-deserved rest.

Desk with Pedals

Classes can be hard both mentally and physically. Active kids always find it difficult to sit straight during the class without a chance to use their energy. For this reason, this school in Ohio has special classroom desks with pedals so active children can move while learning if they want to. It's good to know the learning process gets more and more available and comfortable for any kind of kids.

Furry Friends

Studying for finals can be stressful and exhausting, that's why this university offer special hours with therapy dogs. What can be better than an hour between study with a furry smiling dog melting all the stress away and boosting the whole mood and energy level? Taking 'paws' from studies has never been so enjoying.

Exercise and Study

One more excellent idea for active people having to spend hours to study is this treadmill with a computer. Just go to the campus library basement floor, turn it on, exercise and study at the same time. What a nice way to stay active, burn some sweets eaten while reading the course books and improve health.

Learn while Walking

Sometimes schools use the stairs to help their students learn numbers and multiplication table with special labels on each step. Just walking and seeing them every day helps to keep these basics in mind and maybe remember the image during the test and complete it. Sometimes there are also numbers in other languages taught in this school.

Other great innovations include staplers on the walls in school corridors, water bottle fountains, sunscreen dispensers near the open school gym, campus tables with solar batteries to sit outside, take some rest and charge gadgets. These little hacks take the whole study process to the new level and improve health, mood, attitude towards the school and university staff and the school years in general.

School is not just an obligation and a boring period to live through. It can actually be fun and entertaining with so many useful and creative little inventions implemented.
