Being a student during this online learning experience, I have learned to develop a workspace that holds all my day to day materials such as my laptop, headphones, calculators, pencils, etc. Either way, sometimes I misplace my materials or have them separated from their designated chargers, because of this I have to look for my charger and figure out where I can charge and sometimes I forget where I charge said electronics.

It is because of this that I wanted to create an organizer that allowed me to charge all the electronics in the same place, all you had to do was choose the wires/chargers you want and simply accommodate them in the box. I also wanted it to be small and include a small wirelesscharger that could stick out, this allows me to quickly place and remove my phone.

In my workspace, I also like to have many pens and pencils as well as post-its to be able to quickly write down my homework and notes. In this electric box, this feature is included, you can simply pull for a post-it and reach for a pen. Other features one could add if wanted is a pencilsharpener in the corner of the box as well as more wire organizers. For more wireorganizers you simply have yo make more cut-outs and pass the wire through it.

Supplies

Box (recommended dimensions = 15 cm x 24 cm)

Black Paint

Glue Gun

15-20 Big Popsicle sticks

20-25 - Small Popsicle sticks

Wires

Wireless Charger

Step 1: Getting Your Desired Box and Size

To start off, you must choose a box and cut it to your desired measurements. For example, my box was an old toy box that I cut to measure 15 cm by 22 cm. After you have your box, I would recommend painting it and letting it dry while we work on something else.

Step 2: Wireless Charger

While the box is drying were going to move into working on the feature which is a wireless charger.

To begin the materials you are going to need about 10 Big Popsicle sticks, 10 Small Popsicle sticks, a Hot Glue Gun, something to cut, and of course a wireless charger.

STEP 1

To start you're going to want to get your wirelesscharger and tape a small cardboardsquare to the back, this way if you later decide to remove the wireless charger the glue won't stick to it. After gluing the cardboard glue 2 popsicle sticks from the edge of the cardboard to the left.

STEP 2

Grab 1 Big Popsicle stick and cut it so that is measures around 2-3 in, depending on the distance of the two previously glued popsicle sticks. Then that piece you cut will be glued at the bottom of two Small Popsicle sticks.

STEP 3

Then grab 4 Big Popsicle sticks and once again cut them to measure about 2-3 in, grab two and glue them together. Next, grab another Big Popsicle stick and cut it to measure also 2-3 in and glue the two pairs of the popsicle sticks vertically.

STEP 4

Glue what you made on Step 3 to the base you made in Step 2 (check picture)

Step 3: Wires

In order to connect your wires, you're going to want to label/mark where you want them. In the pictures attached to this step, I have marked with a pencil where I'm going to cut and pass the wires. The process is similar to sewing with a needle, your connect your wire and pass it through the hole you cut.

Step 4: Pencil Holder

For the pencil holder, you will need about 15 small popsicle sticks, 1 small stick, glue, and a small piece of cardboard that measure the height of the popsicle stick and that can hold about 8 popsicle sticks.

Step 1

Place and glue 8 popsicle sticks side by side in the cardboard cut out.

Step 2

Then, flip your cardboard and glue 4 popsicle sticks on top of each other and glue them in the corners of your cardboard

Step 3

Finally, just place 1 Big popsicle stick at the bottom of your cardboard. This is to hold your pencils and create a base.

Step 5: Post-Its Holder

This one is quite simple, all you need is 7 Small Popsicle sticks, glue, and a Post-It note packet.

Step 1

Grab you 7 Popsicle sticks and glue 3 on top of each other (do this twice).

Step 2

Then place the leftover popsicle stick and glue it so that it connects the two sets of 3 popsicle sticks together. You want to make it look like the letter H so glue the sick in the middle.

Step 3

Glue it in the box and slide your Post-It note packet.
