Day 1 of the battery project started off with buying all the supplies and not to mention we had to go to 3 different stores in order to find a box that fits our needs. Most of our materials are from Michaels, Home depot, and target. 

We first cut out the leaves using a Cricut and then cut out the globe as well. We then painted the globe, and the box and covered the lid with green adhesive paper. We then used double-sided tapes for the 3d effect and also hot glue to put it all together. To create the slit we used a sharp knife and some math skills!

Day 2 was quite the grind. We first cut out the people using wood and printed the colored people on paper and glued the paper and people together. We then used hot glue to stick the people on the top of the box.

 For the glitter battery letters, we used the Cricut and some glitter paper. We then used double-sided tape to glue the letters on all three sides of the box except for the back. 

For the front of the box, I made a QR code with information on the purpose of this project and how one contributes when they recycle a single Battery! 

For the right side, we put information on the batteries accepted, such as lithium batteries, alkaline batteries, and even rechargeable batteries!

 For the final touches, we added some leftover leaves around the box to bring it all together!

We custom-made this sweatshirt by buying a plain sweatshirt from amazon with some iron-on patch letters. We used some measurements and some math skills to place the letters, put our iron on the hottest temperature, and iron on the letters.

 The picture to the right was our final result!

After 4 weeks of campaigning and putting the battery box in my school's main office, we had over 200 batteries collected. Most of the batteries were given by students and the rest by teachers and staff members.
