I love the creativity of this design, most of the solar cookers have the same shape but this one was more complex, you presented it very well.

Great job girls! I love the idea of a tube cooker! I also like that you incorporated visiting a local farm to not only learn more but to use fresh local vegetables! Keep up the great work!
