2. Christmas Tree Made from Motherboards – Awareness Through Art
The “Christmas Tree Made from Motherboards” event will be held to raise awareness by reinterpreting electronic waste in an artistic form.

Old computer motherboards, circuit components, keyboard keys, processors, and cables collected from municipal units and volunteer citizens will be transformed into an art installation where recycling meets creativity.

Designed with contributions from students of the Faculty of Fine Arts at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, the work will take the form of an “Electronic Christmas Tree,” symbolizing the balance between technology and nature.

The completed piece will be exhibited in the foyer of the Çanakkale Municipality Green Local Administration Building and Cultural Center. Informational panels and QR codes placed nearby will provide visitors with knowledge about the environmental impact of electronic waste, recycling processes, and actions individuals can take.

This project will bring together the transformative power of art and environmental awareness, demonstrating that every material considered waste can regain value and be transformed into an aesthetic expression.
