Hello Elitheyeetgod,
Building a solar oven is a really fun project! A solar oven is an eco-friendly, cost-effective way to cook food, pasteurize water, or even sterilize instruments. It uses direct sunlight to generate heat and is a great way to explore renewable energy. You can read more about this project here: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/stem-act ... solar-oven
In the real world, solar ovens can be used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. They are especially valuable in underdeveloped regions, where cooking over open fires is common and leads to high levels of air pollution. Solar ovens require no electricity, just direct sunlight, making them a cleaner, more sustainable alternative that helps reduce pollution."
