At the end of February, the Campus Kitchen at Gettysburg College booted up two fresh initiatives as part of an MLK Day Service Project grant from The Campus Kitchens Project.
The Virtually Delicious program takes place in collaboration with The Center/ El Centro, an after school program for first through eighth graders. The series of lessons brought together 11 middle-school students and eight student volunteers from Gettysburg College, mostly health science majors. The plan: teach students both technological capabilities and nutrition education using Virtually Delicious programming like building healthy food pyramids online.
Participants feasted on a dinner full of local foods
To polish off months of activities, the Campus Kitchen at Gettysburg College held a local foods dinner in honor of the hard work by the students. Activities began with a potluck dinner made with delicious, local foods.
Students engage in Virtually Delicious presentations
Students then took the stage and presented posters they made about what they learned from different lessons. After that, Gettysburg Campus Kitchen students played Podcasts that children recorded as part of their Virtually Delicious program. While the Podcasts were simple – each student told the audience his/her name, grade, favorite lesson, and something he/she learned – they allowed the children to develop the technological skill, one of many they learned along the way.
Students plant their own seeds
As the night wound down, participants retreated to several tables set up throughout the room with different children’s activities. Vo-tech students helped kids make fruit kabobs, another table required participants to match a vegetable with a seed, and children also had the opportunity to plant their very own seeds in personal cups.
