Health Science Labs: Where Students Become Health Scientists, Health Champions & Innovators

The Health Science Labs are evidence-informed, interactive workshops designed to engage students in grades K-8. This program ignites interest in healthier lifestyle habits and exposes youth to careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) and health-related fields. In these labs, we don’t just teach science, we let students live it.

The Health Science Labs transform classrooms into vibrant spaces where nutrition, STEM, wellness, and creativity come alive. Through nutrition-based science experiments, whole-food tastings, recipe development, mindfulness, social-emotional learning, and movement activities, students discover how their daily choices impact their biology, energy, and long-term health.

Tasty Creations

In every lab, students dress the part—wearing aprons or white  lab coats as “Junior Health Scientists.” This powerful identity-building experience boosts confidence, focus, and belonging, helping students see themselves now and in the future as health advocates, scientists, and innovators. 

Students explore the science of taste, read nutrition labels, understand portion sizes, and experiment with colorful fruits and vegetables. From blending nutrient-packed smoothies to creating simple, cost-conscious recipes, they learn that whole-food, plant-forward eating is not only fueling—it’s delicious.

Each lab integrates social-emotional learning, encouraging students to reflect on their choices, work collaboratively, and understand how nutrition and movement affect their mood, focus, and confidence.

Every program culminates in an entrepreneurship pathway, where students create a healthy recipe, develop a product concept, design a marketing plan, and pitch their creation to classmates, teachers and family, building teamwork, creativity, and leadership skills.

Students leave with practical knowledge and comprehensive take-home kits they can share with their family, contributing to healthier families and reducing long-term risks for conditions like high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.

Our goal is to decrease generational health disparities and empower students in all communities to live their healthiest lives. We help students become mindful of their personal health and consider career paths that may not seem attainable. 

Dream BIG! Sometimes you have to see it to be it!
