Explore how everyday kitchen processes—like fermentation, enzymatic reactions, and food preservation—serve as accessible, real-world examples of biotechnology in action. Participants will gain practical ideas for integrating hands-on, inquiry-based activities into their courses, helping students connect science concepts to food systems, health, and biotech applications. Attendees will leave with ready-to-use lesson ideas, student activity frameworks, and strategies to spark curiosity about biotechnology through food-based experiences.
Expected Attendees: Middle School FCS Counseling and Mental Health Culinary Arts and Hospitality Food and Nutrition Health Science
