“This was a fantastic activity to incorporate and then build student knowledge. We used the amazing resources both within the kit as well as in our community. It allowed for robust discussions especially with the current cost of living effecting many families. Our local families are literally hunters and gatherers so we could talk about our local impact adn how we could help others. All around we loved the kit and will be using it frequently with my other Food Technology classes.”
