All the students were given ingredients and asked them to create a dish on their own. It was such a surprise to see each and everyone participate and the results were wonderful..

Kids were provided with limited resources, few rules and constrains; and some motivation. The results were incredible variety of dishes were prepared with good blend of creativity and imagination and team work. 

One of the constrains was that every member of each team has to participate (14 year old to 6 year old) no one has to be left out. And finally like master chef they had to make a presentation and also were quizzed by the judges.
