Edible Alchemy Extravaganza: MYP 2 Students Showcase the Art of Healthy and Delicious Food at EIS
Students from MYP 2 took part in the making of a food fest with multiple healthy food items. The students of MYP 2 spread the message that healthy food can be delicious and a pleasure to eat too. They did this as a part of their design subject’s second unit, edible alchemy. The parents of the MYP 2 class as well as all the MYP students were called to taste, rate, and enjoy all the different food items. The students of MYP 2 along with their design teacher planned and created this event. There were all kinds of healthy dishes in the fest, such as smoothie bowls, avocado toasts, pasta, burritos, nachos, tacos, pasta and all kinds of dishes for everyone to enjoy all for free! At EIS, we believe that health is wealth, and the students of MYP 2 helped to convey this message to the rest of the school by giving them a real-life experience. They taught us that it is essential for everyone to stay healthy and that healthy dishes can be delicious too! The whole school teachers were also called during this time.
During the process, the students of MYP 2 called over the family as well as took help from teachers like Miss Dhwani to make this happen. We created visually appealing, captivating and breathtaking dishes from different backgrounds, cultures and likes. The students of MYP 2 also set up a gallery walk with the help of our design teacher to display the background, and final presentation, as well as sketches and prototypes of our dishes. This also helped everyone understand how to make the dishes, as well as get a brief history about it for their understanding. Our unit edible alchemy helped us get a better understanding of how food can have such a deep effect on us and how to make it visually appealing as well as good to eat.
