The document summarizes a team project to create an educational float about endangered Asian elephants for Buttonwood Park Zoo's Earth Eve parade. The team of 5 students from UMD worked with Gail from Buttonwood Park Zoo on the float project over the semester. They researched elephants, promoted awareness events at the zoo, and helped with arts and crafts at the zoo's Cabin Fever Week event to educate the community. The team fixed up an existing float from past years, adding recycled materials and paint to create a nearly life-size elephant float. They represented the zoo and elephants by marching in the Earth Eve parade. The team faced challenges with commitment and organization but worked to improve their collaboration.
