What is FoodLab After School?

FoodLab© After School is a cooking and nutrition education program that includes food science, tasting, and cooking. In each session students perform an age-appropriate LAB experiment using food to investigate principles of chemistry, botany, physics, mathematics, nutrition science, and biology. Students TASTE 4 to 5 varieties of a seasonal food (like apples), noting their observations on an age-appropriate tasting sheet.  They COOK a seasonal, multi-cultural dish that illustrates the principle explored in the LAB.  Dishes may include cucurbit soup, pinzimonio, sushi sandwiches, flower galettes, and more. Enrollment is generally limited to 12 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.
