As part of the Project (from week 8 to week 15) students had to cook using the sun. And their project had to be a unique product that saved gas and electricity costs for the household. Students had to work in 'enterprise teams' comprising a CEO (Chief Exec Officer), CTO (Chief Technical Officer) and a CDO (Chief Design Officer).
Students had to cook, to demonstrate the viability of their idea; which they did. They had to imagine a single-function product. Their design had to have potential to be patented. Student teams had to build working prototypes.
This team made a lot of pop corn, during testing.
