Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

The students in this Career Technical Education course will prepare the students for a Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management. Through hands-on activities and in-depth study of the culinary arts field, this course helps students hone their cooking skills and gives them the opportunity to explore careers in the food industry.

The school is over 70% of low-income households looking for an alternative to colleges and universities.

In this course, students learn all about food, including food culture, food history, food safety, and current food trends. They have hands-on learning in our culinary lab.

My Project

This cotton candy machine will be used by all of my Culinary students to spark their interest in sugar pulling as well as a continuous fundraiser for the class.

Most of my low-income students do not have the means to pay for school trips and events.

This machine will help offset the cost of these plus provide them with the skills needed to run a business.

STEM Culinary arts integration is a highly flexible and engaging project-based learning activity, ideal for STEM education. The STEM goals of collaboration, inquiry and logical reasoning are easily fostered and the Next Generation Science Standards can also be targeted.

There are numerous food contests, scholarships and competitions in our beautiful state, however, my students have never been to.

The cotton candy machine will be used to teach the students about the cost of running a business and how much work is involved with that aspect. They will have to do the math to calculate the cost of good as well as making their own signature flavors of cotton candy!
