Abstract
The objective of this project is to build a sustainable, beautiful, safe, long-lasting, and functional outdoor oven for baking and cooking. The project will be a collaborative effort including Laurel Tree Charter School, its students, Humboldt State University, our team, and the community to demonstrate the ability to apply sustainable practices by designing products for use in daily life.
