FONA Educates Students on Food, Flavor Science

GENEVA, Ill.Learning about science and making it fun is the goal of the Discover FONA education program and the new website it has launched which helps teachers bring food and flavor science to life.

The website is a growing resource for teachers with engaging lesson plans, demonstrations, tools and resources for hands-on learning and exploration into the food and flavor industry.

"Discover FONA aims to help teachers engage their students with real-world applications of their science studies," says Katie Sudler, director of Discover FONA. "We want to introduce students to careers in food science and chemistry, open new doors to them, and show kids how fun these areas of study really are. Our new website will help us reach out to teachers and students beyond our local community."

"Discover FONA enables us to share our passion for education and, of course, our passion for the flavor industry!" says FONA Founder & CEO Joseph Slawek. "Who knows? Maybe we'll even spark a new interest that becomes a lifelong passion for a student."

In 2012, FONA connected with nearly 1,400 students from 20 area schools through the discover FONA program.
