For the second summer in a row CityScience is proud to contract with DYCD to provide our experiential STEM program, Food in the Big Apple to three hundred youth citywide. FITBA provides five elementary-focused nutrition lessons that build STEM skills by supporting exploration of new Federal My Plate program. The program also includes a training workshop for on site directors, and an inquiry-based learning guide for CBO staff to engage youth in cooking and nutrition activities.

But most importantly–FITBA is fun! Kids cook a new healthy recipe each week and explore the connection between NYC cultures, the urban food system, sustainability and STEM. Check out some of our past FITBA student-led projects.
