CARROLLTON, GA – Carrollton Elementary School debuted the newly installed Lü Interactive Playground in the gymnasium at the beginning of March. By transforming the traditional physical education space into an immersive experience for students, teachers connect physical fitness and educational games, allowing students to enjoy the benefits of play.
Students were introduced to Lü by throwing balls at targets, working as a team in games, and practicing calming breathing techniques. The Lü system uses a combination of motion detection programming and a projector system to create the ability for participants to interact. Squeals of excitement could be heard throughout the gym as students played various games that reinforce academic skills while exercising.
“The Lü is an incredible addition for all students at CES,” said CES Principal Dr. Kylie Carroll. “As an interactive playground, the Lü provides endless opportunities to combine fun, physical activity with grade-level curriculum.”
Teachers echo Dr. Carroll’s enthusiasm for the engagement factor that the Lü system brings.
Funded by a combination of district funding and generous donations raised by the Parent-Teacher-Volunteer Organization (PTVO), the Lü playground provides a structured yet fun way to promote overall well-being and a positive learning environment.
