Unlocking the Potential of Science Knowledge with Hands-On Teaching in Food and Nutrition (UPSHOT)

The primary aim of this project is to design and evaluate the evidenced-based and culturally inclusive Advanced Cooking Education (ACE) Program, a 4-H after school club for racially diverse students attending a Title I urban middle school. After school sessions will include healthy snacks, mindfulness-based exercises, and cooking labs where students will learn culinary science skills and prepare dinner meals for their family.
