Smart EduTech for teaching food and nutrition in school and citizen science settings. Hands on demo of the RoboFood, the Smart ChiliBuddy, the Virtual Shopper and the FoodDome

Description

Abstract: Food and Sustainability are important components of urban strategies around the world and learning and education are essential elements in such strategies. So is participation and engagement from citizens and young people. But how can important elements of sustainable and healthy urban food strategies be developed – not only on the desktops of city planners – but in a participatory and empowering way? And how can we take advantage of the new potentials offered by digitization? This presentation explores the potentials of smart learning about Food and Sustainability for young people and citizens. It builds on the insights from the Foodscape Lab and the Gastronarium pilot study at Boxtown Aalborg and will display different examples of such approaches and show practical examples of didactics to be used in both formal school settings, in university settings and in street & citizen science settings. The presentation gives examples of how smart EduTech can play a role in teaching about food and nutrition in school. The presentation takes as a point of departure cases where learning about food has been developed using the STEM principles as the foundation for learning about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The presentation includes examples of smart devices such as the Robofood. The Virtual Shopper, the VeggieMatchi and FoodDome.
