For this years Y8 tech days we decided to see how squeamish the students were and cook with works as an alternative protein souce. Livinfarms https://www.livinfarms.com/the-hive-en a Hong kong start up company supplied teh worms and the studenst really embraced the idea that ion the future we may all be eating insects to get enough protein to feed a growing population, and ver a billion people on the planet eat them regularly
This was part of a technology project with students design uniform, window displays, app and graphic designs for a restaurants concept, with students working in groups of 16. The winning teams made Japanese Mealworm fried rice and Rice burger with Meal work and chickpea patties. The other really tasty product was Meal worm banan bread and i will be sending all these recipes to LivinFarms.
The students excelled themselves and had no issues in trying the worms and it was really successful couple of days that demonstrated creativity, communication and collaboration
