BOOK A WILD VOICES FOR KIDS PROGRAM!
Due to recent CBEEN program funding changes, we will now offer price options for Wild Voices for Kids programs.
Please select the price option that suits your needs, knowing that some schools don’t have access to the financial resources that others do.
We ask that teachers ensure that a program does not violate their school and/or district policies before booking. It is the responsibility of the teacher to confirm program suitability and communicate needs and questions to the Community Educator.
We continue to have a COVID-19 policy in place and teachers booking programs are expected to read this plan in advance of their program to understand our policies and practices around offering programs.
Questions about the policy may be directed to the Wild Voices Program Manager at wildvoices@cbeen.org

A Case for Cucumbers...and Other Veg
| Bookable Type(s) | Half Day Field Study |
|---|---|
| Duration | 2.5 Hours |
| Location | Groundswell Network & Community Greenhouse |

In this program students imagine that they are chefs, preparing for an upcoming Iron Chef challenge with a farm to fork twist. Each team is assigned a vegetable that they will have to feature in their proposed Iron Chef meal, but they must also learn about its growing requirements and its cost and potential revenues. Teams will use this information to decide where their vegetable should be planted to yield the maximum quantity possible, and advocate for their vegetable’s spot in the greenhouse at a stakeholder meeting with the other chef teams.
This program takes place over two sessions, and does not include cooking a meal at the greenhouse at this time - teachers are encouraged to extend the learning by providing students with the opportunity to make their proposed dishes with their team’s vegetable back in the classroom or school kitchen.
