My Project

We are thrilled to introduce a unique project that will bring real-world learning into the classroom: a food truck project where students will explore the worlds of cooking, entrepreneurship, and economics! This hands-on, project-based lesson is designed to increase understanding of economic and financial literacy while allowing students to dive into the practical aspects of running a food business.

Increase understanding of economic and financial literacy – Students will learn key financial concepts like budgeting, pricing, and supply and demand as they create and sell their food items.

Grasp how economics relates to our lives as workers, consumers, and citizens – Through the food truck experience, students will understand how economics impacts their everyday choices and roles in society.

Incorporate science into each unit – Students will apply scientific principles to the cooking process, from understanding heat transfer in pizza-making to exploring the nutritional value of the ingredients.

Provide an opportunity to be creative – The students will have the chance to design their own food truck, create appealing packaging, and express their artistic talents through custom packaging designs and food presentation.

We are looking to purchase items such as Back to Nature Organic Wheat Crackers, King Arthur Pizza Flour, bakery boxes, pizza pans, and more. These supplies will help students prepare delicious food items, package them in professional-looking containers, and present their creations with pride.

This project provides an exciting opportunity for students to work together, apply real-world skills, and understand how entrepreneurship and economics affect their lives. With your generous donation, we can bring this learning experience to life, empowering students to think critically, creatively, and financially.

Thank you for considering supporting our Food Truck Project-Based Learning lesson!
