Description: This course provides an introductory overview of various solar cooker designs used worldwide, including panel, box, and parabolic cookers. Students will explore simple, inexpensive, do-it-yourself creations to commercial models, improvised and experimental designs, economics, and global applications. Participants will construct working solar box or panel cookers. Upon course completion, graduates will have the opportunity to participate in a solar cook-off demonstration at the Emporia Farmers Market in late summer, using their home-built solar cookers. Resources and recipes will be provided for advanced experimentation. John Crisp has been building and using solar cookers for over thirty years.
