Final Notes for Our Presentation

Here are some last thoughts we should consider before our final presentation:

Keep in mind our goals- mid and long term: how will they be measured?

Measure student comprehension of material through fun activities like game-show-style quizzes (ie jeopardy) and eventually activities like "recipe contests" that allow them to use their new skills to invent new recipes and fun, possibly themed snacks and meals.

Measure our organization efficiency in terms of "cost per life affected", using our budget and number of kids we work with.

Speaking of goals...

We should make sure to specify that long terms goals include scalability and replicability. Hopefully, this program will ultimately expand to teach a wider range of nutrition-oriented skills, also in a fun, hands-on setting. Long term possibilities include reaching out to families (parents and guardians), teaching shopping classes (how to shop for healthy food on a budget), and classes that give a broader nutrition-based education on what a healthy day or week looks like.

In terms of the presentation, let's make sure to start with the main problem (food insecurity, malnutrition), show why it matters (statistics of health problems, etc), BEFORE narrowing down to our specific issue, and, ultimately, our solution.

And as we finalize our presentation, we should make sure that we are constantly clarifying "how" the entire way through- for example, specify how we are going to partner with student groups, how we are using our contacts to our best advantage...
