If you're staying at home with a kitchen right now, try making it your laboratory! We will share a couple kitchen-friendly science experiments where you'll see the ingredients, a few key steps, and pre-prepared end results so you can learn how to adapt the recipes in your own kitchen. For example, make your own pH tests with red cabbage juice and make green eggs (without ham, apologies to Sam I Am). Layer liquids of different densities and learn about emulsification. Feed yeast and watch it grow. Apply a scientific process to baking and make adjustments, depending on your preferences. We'll get to enjoy our experiments in multiple ways, because they're edible! For 2020-2021, this class focuses on scientific concepts related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Please join us for the Pandemic Edition of Science in the Kitchen!

In this class, we ask three simple questions: 1. Who am I? (Story of Self) 2. Who are we? (Story of Us) 3. What do we want to change in the world today? (Story of Now) Storytelling for social change is based on the "Public Narrative" framework, which has been used by organizers and activists around the world to inspire others to action through sharing powerful stories about our values and our histories. In this class, we will coach you on how to craft and tell your story to empower your friends, family, and community to act on an issue you care about (like fighting climate change or poverty)!
