Here is a tea foraging workshop I led for my scouts.
We started just after 10am and ended just before noon.
There were 18 attendees besides my own kids, a mix of parents and thistles.
I had trouble getting my camera to focus on a wide angle for the group and a close up of my watch, so I took a clear shot of my watch and a group shot right after.
We picked 7 species of tea-making plants and brought them to the Pavillion in a nearby park plug in an electric kettle. Each kid made at least 6 cups of tea.

I hosted a workshop teaching folks how to operate a rocket oven and make pizza in it.

First we covered the basics of heat transfer, the fire triangle, how to achieve complete combustion, how to split wood on the kindling cracker that I built, how to start a j-tube, how to feed a j-tube, how to troubleshoot/understand performance of the rocket, and how to make a pizza so that it rolls off the peel.

We made 20 pizzas in <90mins and the workshop lasted a little over 2hrs. The oven performed very well with minimal smoke at the start and one additional time when there was too little airflow at the inlet - which was great for demonstration. The crowd especially loved splitting wood using the kindling cracker, watching the fire contraflow, and the pizza turned out perfectly!

12 students are in the photos not including myself in the red tank top and note that I edited the faces of the minors.
