26. Share one study room without double bookings

The brief

A small learning club shares one study room. Create a simple way for members to request a time, learn whether it is theirs and cancel it. You can use ordinary sentences, a list, a table or a sketch. No coding or technical vocabulary is needed; make the steps clear enough for a new volunteer to follow.

• The room has six one-hour slots each day. A slot can belong to only one person at a time.
• Members ask at the desk or send a message. One volunteer keeps the current booking record.
• Two people sometimes request the same slot, and a cancelled slot could help someone waiting.
