| Descripción: | The main objective of the Cornell Solar Oven Team is to help communities in the developing world design solar cookers appropriate for their specific cultural, social, economic, and environmental conditions. Food is not only a basic human need, but also a culturally important part of daily life. Thus, we seek to implement solar cookers in a way that is not only environmentally sustainable but also culturlly sensitive. During the 2005-2006 school year our team’s work focused on three main areas: the development and solidification of contacts with new partner organizations, parametric testing of previously constructed solar ovens, and the development of new solar oven designs. The work completed during the fall semester allowed us to produce an effective plan for the development of solar ovens. During spring of 2006, we cultivated a relationship with a new partner organization, Grupo Fenix, in Nicaragua. This connection facilitated the team’s visit to Nicaragua, during which the team had the opportunity to experience the technical and social aspects of solar oven use in the developing world first-hand. |
