The meeting room has a large screen displaying a presentation titled "Bright Sparks" with the subtitle "Building Brighter Futures from the Very Start." There are windows with a view of trees, and a banner with the same logo and slogan in the background. The table has notebooks, pens, cups, a water pitcher, and a small potted plant.
