Participants learn the source of their food, and understand the importance of soil conservation. After researching, they create what they think is the best pizza, trace its ingredients from slice to soil, become acquianted with the many career opportunities, develop a marketing plan, bake the pizza, and present a marketing report in front of a panel of judges.
Through cooperative experiential learning, kids are engaged in exploring, discovering and creating, as they develop skills in leadership and discover their self-worth. They experiment and discover the value of conservation. Mini-Workshop Session (activity should be easily demonstrated in 25 minutes and will be repeated 4 times on Friday) | |
