We had the opportunity to work with a University Preparatory Academy,
in partnership with a program that was already in place teaching the
children about nutrition. Our first step was to understand our audience,
a group of children living in Detroit, ages 10-12. We went into the class
rooms and asked the children to fill out a survey about their eating habits.
We also led a class discussion about their favorite things to eat and what
the strangest vegetable they have eaten.

Student Surveys

This was an enjoyable experience because were able to
actually engage with the audience we would be creating
the project for. We found out that they were excited
about food but had poor eating habits and exposure
to diverse foods. We also found that the teaching
methodology at University Prep was activity based.

Based on what we learned from our ethnographic research we began
to draw conclusions on how to approach and develop a project for the
children. We new that it needed to activity based learning and defiantly
needed to be fun.
We found that fourteen out of the thirty-two students had eaten fast food
the night before. We also found in our research was that 58.8% of the
students are eligible for free lunch, 10.4% are eligible for reduced lunch,
and 30.8% are not eligible.
We decided to make an event where the children all made different recipes
and brought them into share with their classmates. But first we needed to
educate them on what healthy food is and help guide them into making
healthy choices when making something to share.

We decided to create an entire program called sprout. We did this because
sprouts have the highest concentration of nutrition per calorie of any food.
Sprouts are a rich source of vitamins, minerals, trace minerals, enzymes,
antioxidants, chlorophyll and protein. We also used sprout because it
refers to the idea of growth similar to how we wanted out students to grow
and learn about healthy choices.

As a result we made a guide book filled with fun learning
activities about different food groups. We also included
information about unprocessed foods and label reading.
These activities helped to educate and engage the students
in a fun way.

Once the students completed the guidebook they were asked to create a
healthy recipe and make enough of it to share with their fellow students.
The students filled out a recipe card listing what was in the food and how
to make it. We titled the event “Taste Bud Challenge” because we were
challenging the children to try and taste something healthy and have fun
while doing it. There was also a competition where students were able to
vote for best dish and best fruit, vegetable, unprocessed, protein, and
grain dishes.

On the day of the event the students seemed
very excited for their classmates to try their
dishes and to taste the dishes. Some students
has so much that they couldn’t carry it all back
to their table. All of the participants did a very
good job at creating healthy recipes to share.

After the “Taste-Bud Challenge” event we
gathered all of the recipes and created a
cookbook that contained all of the participants
recipes and featured the winners of the six
categories. We also included a how to grow your
own sprout instructions, kitchen safety, cooking
terms, blank recipe cards, recipes from the
faculty, photos of the students from the event,
ten ways to save on groceries, and a list of local
grocery stores in the Detroit area.
