Year 9 - The Business of Snacks

As a consequence of busy schedules, many young people turn to nutrient-poor options, which have limited nutritional value. But what if there was an option that was tasty, nutritious and ready-made? In this collaboration between Food and Nutrition and Business Enterprise, students will investigate the snack food needs and preferences of adolescent stakeholders. Applying an innovative approach, students will prototype, analyse and evaluate nutritious solutions. They will develop their food science and entrepreneurial skills as they prepare their food products for a product launch event, where they will release their nutritious snacks to stakeholders.
