What is FoodLab Afterschool?

FoodLab Afterschool is a cooking and nutrition education program in which three stations are set up in the classroom, and each student spends about 20 minutes at each one. FoodLab© includes tasting, cooking, and food science. Students TASTE 4 to 5 varieties of a seasonal food (like apples), noting their preferences on an age-appropriate tasting sheet. At the COOK station, students prepare a snack, like pita pockets or nori rolls. At the LAB station students perform an age-appropriate lab experiment using food to investigate principles of chemistry, botany, physics, mathematics, or biology. There will be a FoodLab team educator at each station.  Enrollment is generally limited to 15 students. The program can be adapted to fit the needs of each unique academic environment. We will work with you to maximize the impact and success of the program.
