I was assigned in the Design and Manufacturing class I am taking at Holy Family Catholic High School to choose a project to work on.

I thought the make it glow project would be a good project to do with the supplies I had available.

I designed the box in Autodesk fusion 360. 

The lights are from amazon that can change color.
