The document provides an overview of the design and implementation of an outdoor pizza oven at a school. It discusses the objective of creating a low-cost, sustainable oven using natural materials. The final design located the oven in the parking lot and used a sand form, thermal layer, and chimney. The project took 232 hours to complete over 5 phases. Operation and maintenance costs are estimated to be $14-164 annually depending on wood usage. The conclusion notes the oven involved students, was sustainable using local materials, and was an effective design that heated up in 2 hours and cooked pizza in 3 minutes.
