Using the Dining Table as an Alternative Classroom
Description:
A pair of chopsticks is the key to the entire universe! Everyone loves to eat and talk over a dining table, so why not make full use of this daily habit for learning? More than just nutrition, it's full of science, math, art, and so on and a great way to get children interested in learning. This talk will take Japanese food as a perfect example to explore many different academic fields through the lens of food. Focusing on STEAM, we'll give you ideas how to apply the thought to your own cuisine.
