The team members have spent the last three weeks studying various aspects of the Food Science Industry which is based heavily upon science and agricultural principals. This industry deals with every aspect of processing and preparing food from the time it leaves the farm until it reaches the consumer.
To prove their skills, the contest assesses their knowledge and abilities in four areas: general knowledge test, taste testing, identifying best production and management practices, and handling a customer complaint.
The team finished first in the sub-district and earned the right to compete at the district contest at Ben Logan H.S, where they placed sixth. |
