Frequently Asked Questions
Is financial aid available for the kits?
If your group requires financial assistance to participate, contact us and we will work with your needs!
How many kids can I have in a group?
This curriculum could work with as few as two and as many as 30. The facilitator guide offers ingredient lists for groups of five and they are easily multiplied for larger groups. That said, larger groups may need some breakout sessions to make sure that all kids get hands-on with every activity.
What kind of groups can use this curriculum?
The curriculum could be used in classrooms, after school programs, camps, homeschool pods, or with families.
Do I need a kitchen to use this curriculum?
No! This first series, Snack Around the World, does not require heat sources, so you could use these activities in numerous spaces. You will need access to electricity and a blender. Future series may require a kitchen, but we will indicate that when necessary.
How much will we need to spend on ingredients?
We estimate that ingredients for all six activities for groups of 10 students will total about $150. This is not included in the kit.
Do I need to be a cooking expert to facilitate a group?
Not at all! In fact, some of our most exciting moments come when grownups are learning alongside kids. This shows kids that anyone at any age can learn something new, which makes them more likely to give new things a try!
How do I deal with safety concerns?
Taste Quest Facilitator Guides and recipes indicate in red any time there is a potential hazard, including sharp objects, heat sources, and common allergens. This way, facilitators are alerted to when to provide extra supervision. Depending on the ages and experience of the kids, and your comfort level, you can discern whether students are ready to practice using sharp tools or heat sources.
