FOODTOPIA 2015
Foodtopia is a cross disciplinary project that incorporated Chemistry, Humanities, and Art/Design. Students studied the macro and micro nutrients in foods and their effect on the human body and health. Using that research students worked in humanities to produce short PSA style videos in collaboration with elementary age students, culminating in a screening of all of the films for the second graders, and a poster with QR links to all of the work. Then in art, students used the design thinking methodologies and worked to create garden tiles for the Elementary School garden that incorporated a cohesive theme and expressed simplified graphics and information on food related issues in order to have a lasting impact on the elementary students.
