Student Achievement
Successful Product Launch
26 October
Today at Damascus College the Year 9 Food and Consumer Science class held their product launch to an enthusiastic crowd of students who were eager to sample the offerings.
Over the last semester, the students have developed products for supermarket shelves. They work on a design brief and have a target audience in mind, as they use their STEM skills to develop their products, gather data from consumers to make changes and create the packaging and marketing information.
The products created this semester are:
- Spicy Nacho Pocket – wonton wrapper pastry with nacho meat, salsa and cheese in the middle with a Dorito crumb.
- Stir Pie – Gluten free pie with a chicken stir fry filling.
- Salmon cakes and apple crumble meal - Marketed for the elderly as a complete nutritious meal.
- Coco Protein balls- A healthy snack for children to provide energy in a delicious parcel.
The feedback was a resounding YUM!!!
Well done to all the students and staff involved. It was a wonderful opportunity to see and taste the hard work that they have been putting in.
