Waste to Wonder

Turn waste into possibility. Students will transform discarded plastic into a finished product using real recycling equipment and manufacturing technologies, creating a unique item to take home.

Experimental Ice Cream

Science never tasted so good! Students will experiment with flavours, Indigenous ingredients and food innovation while developing branding and product concepts using AI tools.
