Change is Good
For the past two months I have been working with students at the Dome School on a biochar project. Among other things, we are making tin can biochar stoves. The stoves are designed so you can make them with nothing but simple hand tools like pliers, tin snips and a hammer.
If you would like to try it yourself, I made an illustrated instruction sheet you can download here: How to make Dome School Biochar Stove.
Have fun!

I applaud teaching things like this but being in construction am a bit shocked with no gloves or safety glasses for children doing things like this.

Very cool. But Elementary school? I'm surprised a fifth grader is strong enough to cut cans and do the other steps. Did you have to help much?
