A New Recipe for Transdisciplinary Learning: How educators can engage young people with "Food! How can we ensure good nutrition for all?"

A New Recipe for Transdisciplinary Learning: How educators can engage young people with "Food! How can we ensure good nutrition for all?"

Ready to help your students become changemakers? As students and teachers around the globe navigate the future of education and learning, the Smithsonian Science Education Center is supporting educators to engage students in action-focused, transdisciplinary learning that can be done in or out of the classroom.

The Smithsonian Science for Global Goals research guide, Food! How do we ensure good nutrition for all? supports young people to investigate issues of food and nutritional security in their own communities, and in communities across the globe. This module brings together science and engineering education with social studies, health and civics to engage students in mapping food access points in their own communities, analyzing food and nutritional guidelines from around the world, exploring recipes and ingredients, and engineering better food storage containers, among other activities.
