Summary
Confusion about healthy eating is widespread, especially among students, due to conflicting information and the influence of social media. Despite the critical role of nutrition in overall health, many lack the knowledge and skills needed to make well informed food choices. This project seeks to bridge that gap by providing clear, accessible nutrition education and practical cooking experience. To achieve this, two key approaches will be implemented. First, engaging informational flyers will be posted in high-traffic areas of the school, providing research-based content that debunks nutrition myths, simple health tips, and easy recipes. Additionally, cooking classes will be held during PRIME sessions. These sessions will focus on preparing quick, nutritious meals that require minimal experience, helping students build confidence in their ability to cook healthy food. To assess the impact, surveys will be conducted before and after each session to evaluate changes in students’ understanding of nutrition and confidence in cooking. By combining educational outreach with hands-on experience, this initiative aims to empower students with the tools they need to make healthier choices and develop lifelong cooking skills.
