VETRI COOKING LAB
8 WEEKS, 15 STUDENTS, S.T.E.M. CONCEPTS
Vetri Cooking Lab will meld culinary training with science, math and history using the
kitchen as the classroom. Our culinary and education experts developed a curriculum
that combines hands-on culinary training, education about nutrition, math and science
as it relates to food preparation, and the historical roots of various food choices.
The intent of this program is to train a generation of educated food consumers by
deepening students’ knowledge of food from all angles with an emphasis on S.T.E.M. -science, technology, engineering and math.

MOBILE TEACHING KITCHEN
ON-SITE VEHICLE, COMMUNITY OUTREACH
In order to expand our food education interventions in Philadelphia and the
surrounding area, Vetri Community Partnership is developing the Mobile Teaching
Kitchen program. This program will include hands-on opportunities that allow us to
actively engage with the children and families of our community at a higher level. The
Mobile Teaching Kitchen will arrive on-site at schools, farmers’ markets and community
events in both indoor and outdoor settings. Our staff will unload tables, cooking
equipment, speakers and materials needed to create the teaching kitchen experience.
With the mobility of this program, the possibilities are endless as to where we are able
to create cooking experiences in the community.
