Inspired Chefs: A Child-centered Exploration of Food, STEAM & Health

September 1, 2021 - August 31, 2023 | Public Programs

The Hands On Children’s Museum will conduct an “Inspired Chefs” program that responds to community demand for children’s cooking education, promotes early STEAM learning, and supports the museum’s Good for You! Healthy Lifestyles initiative. The Inspired Chefs programming will include cooking classes and cooking camps for children and youth. They also plan to organize a new kitchen tools pop-up exhibit and redesign a garden shed in the children’s garden on the museum property to support seed-to-table programming. Community partners will include the Olympia Farmers Market, native plant and food educators, local chefs, and students from South Puget Sound Community College’s culinary program.
