EcoCooks School
EcoCooks is an environmental food literacy program that addresses how food choices impact our planet. Through fun, science-based, hands-on workshops students are empowered to take environmental action with every bite.
EcoCooks engages teachers and students in Core and Curricular Competencies with a focus on hands-on, student-centered learning.
EcoCooks School is developed and delivered in partnership with the Elements Society.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I sign my class up for just 1 module? Or multiple modules but in different orders?
Yes! To provide teachers with flexible options, EcoCooks has been developed with multiple modules that can be taken independently, as a series, back-to-back, or spaced throughout the year.
​
2. How long is each module?
Each module is 3-4 workshops long. Workshops are designed to be 60-70min long but are easily adapted to different class times.
​
3. What class/subject area(s) is it available for?
The program is connected most strongly to:
-
Elementary: Science, Social Studies, Language Arts, Math, Applied Design, Skills, and Technologies
-
Secondary: Science, Social Studies, Food Studies, and Career & Life Skills
Since we will be cooking and preparing food with students, the final workshop is best run in a classroom with access to food preparation facilities (like a Food Studies room set-up), however; we can adapt the workshop for classrooms without a kitchen.
4. What is the cost?
EcoCooks is dedicated to providing economically accessible programs that can be supported financially through our Contribute-What-You-Can Model. We understand the financial challenges many schools and educators face and our mission is to make our programs accessible to all, regardless of budget constraints. With this funding model, you can choose an amount that works for your budget, even if that number is 0, ensuring that all students can benefit from our offerings. Regardless of the amount you donate, the quality and content of our programs will remain consistently high and booking prioritization will remain completely equal.
​
5. Is EcoCooks accessible?
We believe that all youth should have the opportunity to take part in inspiring environmental education programs. As such, EcoCooks is dedicated to providing economically accessible programs that are appropriate for youth with diverse physical and neuro-emotional learning needs as well as English language learners.
