**Title: Cooking Up Science: Clemson Extension's Solar Oven Workshop with Middle School Students**
This week, the Clemson Extension team had the exciting opportunity to engage with our local middle school students in a hands-on workshop focused on solar energy. Together, we embarked on a journey to build solar ovens, blending science, creativity, and a dash of culinary fun!
With guidance from our knowledgeable Clemson Extension educator, Jaime Pohlman, the students transformed simple cardboard boxes, aluminum foil, and plastic wrap into innovative solar ovens.
The workshop not only provided a fun and interactive way to learn about renewable energy but also fostered teamwork and problem-solving skills among the students.
Stay tuned for more workshops and initiatives as we continue to explore the wonders of science together!
