Michigan State University Extension Educators will be hosting an Investigating Food with Science series beginning on September 9, 2020 at 4 pm EDT. "Investigating Food with Science: The Science Behind Food Safety" an after-school program exploring how cooking is an experiment and baking is a science. Each week MSU Extension educators will explore the science behind food-related topics and food safety along with a fun, kid-friendly recipe or experiment demonstrated. The demonstrations will be designed for youth to experiment at home if they desire and provide the youth a chance to share their experience the following week. These will be live presentations where participants will be encouraged to submit their questions during the Q & A portion of the event. MSU Extension Educators will be available to provide the most up-to-date research-based information.
