Exploring Food Stories Quest: A 3-week quest for students to discover "Nü" foods and recipes together.

Hey Manitoba Teachers!

Are you looking for a fun, new activity to keep your students engaged for the last few weeks of school? We hear you. It’s been a long year and we could all use some fun!

What is Exploring Food Stories Quest?

Because we couldn't host our ever-popular student field trips SUPERCHEF Academy and Cooking Quest this year, we created this new Quest for you and your students! The quest activities incorporate core curriculum such as math, ELA and social studies.

Everyone has a unique food story, and food is what brings people together, especially during these challenging times. This 3-week quest to helps shine a spotlight on students’ food stories in a fun way.

Should your classroom register?
