Litter
I.Q. Board
The Litter I.Q. Board is an interactive electronic display
that creates litter awareness while educating the user
about the life expectancy of carelessly discarded items.
The board displays 12 common litter items and lists
11 possible decomposition times, ranging from “up
to 2 years” to “indefinitely.” The challenge
is to match the item with the correct decomposition
time. When the correct match is made, a buzzer sounds.
Some of the answers are shocking. Children are amazed
to learn that aluminum cans that they see today will
still be around when they are adults. Those who test
their Litter IQ can also score themselves: 10-12 correct
answers honors them as an “Earth Crusader”
and 0 correct answers dubs them the obvious “il-litter-ate.” |

Recycling
I.Q. Board
The Recycling I.Q. Board is a fun,
interactive, educational tool that allows the participant
to match items that would be thrown away to items that
can be made from the materials if they are properly
recycled. When a correct match is made, a buzzer sounds,
and the arrows, representing the recycling symbol, light
up and spin around.
Glenn Witherspoon, PA CleanWays volunteer, designed
and developed the electrical and circuitry work for
the Recycling I.Q. Boards. |
