Build a Pizza Box Solar Oven
Let’s cook up some treats using a solar oven made by you!
Using recycled and household materials we will build a simple solar oven. Our solar ovens will harness solar energy and can be used to cook simple items like marshmallows for smores! Kids can join me to build their very own solar oven, and later reward themselves with a freshly-cooked treat!
1 Your Guide
Hi, I’m Corrina! I believe the best learning is all about exploring interests and curiosities. As a BC certified teacher with qualifications in Special Education and Urban Education, I have lots of experience helping K-7 learners dive into new ideas to spark their imaginations and sense of wonder. My favourite topics to explore with kiddos are all things science and outdoor education, especially through hands-on STEM activities! If I weren’t a teacher, I would certainly be a Marine Biologist, as ocean life and biology are two of my favourite interests! I love digging through tidal pools looking for interesting marine life and treasures. When I am not teaching, I enjoy hiking, sailing, and playing beach volleyball with friends. I also love playing with my cat Mika, or reading books about adventure or mystery.
