Kik it up in the Kitchen

KIK (Kids in the Kitchen) is a summer and after school program for kids ages 6 to 15. This program not only encourages kids to eat healthier snacks and exercise more, but also incorporates important STEM principles through hands-on activities in six engaging lessons. Participants will explore the science behind nutrition and the effects of food on their bodies, using simple experiments to understand how different ingredients work together to create healthy snacks. They'll also learn about the engineering of making food both nutritious and fun, with practical recipes that require 5 ingredients or less, empowering them to experiment and cook with confidence. By connecting food science, technology, and healthy habits, this program helps kids understand the impact of their choices while developing valuable life skills!
