    The program has two parts, focusing on the light of the Sun and the heat of the Sun.
    The first part, they learned the recent information about the source of energy and the amount of energy they have recently used, then they observed we installed the hand-made solar panel outside which is used for the exterior light of the institute.

    "If you cook by sun, you don’t need any fuels nor electricity and you can save your money and save environment without consuming natural resources."
  • August 2008: We did solar cooking in Central Park as a joint program between IEARN-USA and Japan Solar Energy Education Association. We used 5 solar cookers in total; 1 parabolic type (Sunny Cooker) and 4-panel type (3 Japanese Educooker & 1 CooKit). It was sunny on that day, best for solar cooking. We cooked many kind of meal such as chocolate cake, pizza, razania, rabiori, fruit jelly and solar harb tea.We could boil water many times, so that we could distribute tea even the people around us. We enjoyed talking to them and a wonderful time.
