TechnoGirl Trust and IMCD: Inspiring Future Scientists with Hands-On Culinary Science: Our #TechnoGirlTrust learners recently had an incredible job shadowing experience at IMCD Group during the June intake. In the lab, they made tomato sauce and plant-based burger patties from scratch! They learned by doing and saw firsthand how science is used in cooking. It was a fun and tasty way to learn!

TechnoGirls Make Pizzas at Columbus Stainless: A Quality Training Initiative In an innovative approach to organizational quality training, our TechnoGirls recently participated in a hands-on exercise at Columbus Steel Middleburg, where they made pizzas. This engaging activity was designed to impart crucial lessons about workplace safety, meeting customer expectations, reading and following instructions, and delivering a quality product. These lessons are not only applicable in the workplace but are also valuable for the #TechnoGirls in their daily lives at school. Understanding the importance of safety, the expectations of those they serve, the need to follow instructions carefully, and the pursuit of quality in their work can significantly enhance their academic and personal development. By bringing these insights back to their school environment, a #TechnoGirl can apply what they've learned to improve their performance, collaborate more effectively with peers, and approach their studies with a greater appreciation for quality and precision. This initiative by #ColumbusStainless exemplifies how practical, real-world experiences can enrich educational outcomes and prepare young individuals for future challenges.
