2. Solar Power Project I Anthony Lewis, have sign up for the STEM program. I have been assign with a project that involves solar power. Solar power is the converse of sunlight into energy. Solar power is a renewable resource. Solar power is used for homes, cars, calculators, to pump water and more other uses. I have to design and build a solar powered oven. My oven has to be able to cook 6 1-inch pre cut cookie dough.

3. So far… Week 1. For this week so for I have design and measured my oven and materials. The materials I have to work with are:  Wooden slabs (various sizes)  Hammer  Nails  Black felt or other absorbent material  Heavy duty aluminum/foil  Power saw  Measuring tape  Gorilla glue  Mirrors  Paint (non-toxic)  Styrofoam  Decorations

4. So far… Week 1 cont. My oven design has four legs, three or more mirror above, two handles, an “open roof”, and a door. Once decorated it should look like a monster or a alien.

5. Designs Here what that “cookie tray” looks likes.

6. Designs cont. This is the inside of the oven

7. Design cont. The outside of the oven.

8. Measurements Cookies  1 inch by 1 inch Cookie tray  Length 7 ½ inches  Width 5 ½ inches  Height 3 inches more or less Oven (mirrors, handles, and leg not included)  Length 15 or more inches  Width 11 or more inches  Height 9 or more inches Legs  Length 3 inches  Width 3 inches  Height 3 inches Handles  Length 4 inches  Width 2 inches  Height 5 inches (space 3 inches)

9. The processing oven During the processing of making the actual oven took almost two weeks. While me and my partner Jalin was cutting our wood we made a few adjustments. We didn’t make door instead we made a hole in a wall of the oven. Then we made a pan that goes in and out of the oven. The pan had the cookie tray attached to it. Also the cookie tray is warp in aluminum foil.
