Grade level– Ellie-7 Anuva-7 Keira-7

Info– Our school has competed for 10 years and won 6 of those years.

Help from– Some of the inspiration we got for food ideas and recipes have been found on the internet , our teacher helped us in getting the materials and helped in cutting the plexiglass that goes on top.

Challenges we faced- We had to complete our oven in a time crunch, and the menu was very hard to come to a complete conclusion.

Idea origin – We thought that our solar oven would be good at cooking food because it has isolation to trap heat.
