CAN YOU HELP? Educator searching for West Seattle baker

Cheyanne Chadwick, a STEM educator who is program manager for HEART at West Seattle Elementary, is looking for a community member to help with an upcoming project:

This fall, my students and I will be working on a science of baking project I’m lovingly calling The Great West Seattle Bake-Off. The goal is for students to learn about the chemistry behind baking by discovering what all the ingredients in cupcakes actually do.

I’m looking for a baker (preferably someone from the West Seattle area) who might be interested in coming into my classroom in November for an hour-long demonstration/lesson on baking. No teaching experience is needed, obviously. Bakers would provide the expertise in baking itself, and I’d lead the teaching elements. I can provide more specific details (the when, where, how, whatnot) to anyone who might be available/interested.

Potentially interested? Email Cheyanne at cheyanne.chadwick@stempaths.org.

    Doesn’t South Seattle College have a program for culinary arts? This sounds like a match made in heaven—or West Seattle!

    Find the Kisky’s! They are amazing bakers! I hope they don’t mind me outing them but they are incredible. They do a monthly meal thing for Teen Lifeline I believe. Hope you can connect!

    That program closed a number of years ago, sadly.

    We have a world-renowned bakery on California Ave that’s owned by a West Seattle resident. I bet that would be an amazing resource. (Bakery Nouveau). 

Sorry, comment time is over.
