The project is a continuation of a project we did last year at Roskilde Festival. It is a workshop where participants will have the opportunity to build their own cooler that works exclusively using vaporization. The design consists basically of a metal container with foam around it. The foam is dampened and cools the container as the water evaporates.
The cooler is made of simple materials, so that participants can relatively easily and quickly build their own and bring it home to their camp. Based on the experiences of last year's workshop, we have decided to change the design a bit, so the cooler is a little easier to build, while more robust and thus more "festival friendly". The project allows us to have a good dialogue on science education, while helping workshop participants making the cooler. It is also a good opportunity to test the product and collect feedback on the functionality of the cooler afterwards. For the participants, it is a great opportunity to build their own cooler, which they of course get for free.
