*'''June 2007:''' Every year all school children in Norway are invited to take part in a great science competition called ''årets nysgjerrigper'' (The curious parker of the year). There is one main prize, but also 5 different prizes focusing on various aspects of the project. One of these prizes is the energy prize. A group of 13 pupils from 11 to 12 years old received the energy prize of 5000 kroner (about 500 pounds) for their solar cooking project in May 2007. The pupils go to the local public school, Byremo barneskole, in the county of Vest-Agder in Norway. At the moment they are working hard at translating the whole project report to English. When they are finished, the report will be published here.

The guidebook was designed to serve students who were working on field projects in marginal parts of the country, where they are also doing demonstrations of solar cooking. Professor Salazar is hopeful that at least 500 people will be introduced to solar cooking in this manner.

The History of Solar Cooking in Panama

Two individuals are noteworthy in the promotion of solar cooking in Panama. Don Alberto Fajardo Cruz, using the name "Usando el Sol" (Using the Sun) has been building and demonstrating cookers in Panama for many years. He estimates that around 1,000 people know about cookers, with an unknown number of those using them. A colleague and collaborator, Professor Pedro Salazar of the University of Panama has recently published a small guidebook on solar cooking, dedicated to Don Alberto. The guidebook was designed to serve students who were working on field projects in marginal parts of the country, where they are also doing demonstrations of solar cooking. Professor Salazar is hopeful that at least 500 people will be introduced to solar cooking in this manner.
