Studio Ghibli is well known for including delicious food in each of their movies. As the Ghibli Museum puts it: "The foods that appear are not particularly special, appearing in our lives quite commonly. But their appearance in the films always has special meaning." In this camp we will honor this role of food in the films by creating a new dish each day. (Day 1) "Ponyo" and Ramen (Day 2) "Spirited Away" and Red Bean Steamed Buns (Day 3) "Howl's Moving Castle" and Bacon and Eggs (Day 4) "From Up on Poppy Hill" and Aji-furai (Day 5) "The Wind Rises" and Jiro’s favorite Siberia cake For each meeting the teacher will lead the class through the recipe with an overhead camera, presentation, and step by step instruction.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! am a scientist and adventurer. I have a Masters degree in Animal Science with minors in Chemistry and Fish & Wildlife. I started my journey investigating sheep and goats, went on to study shrimp and zooplankton, and have many years of experience teaching STEM to students from preschool up to college.
The classes that I am currently teaching cover Food Science, Animal Science, Ichthyology, STEM experiments, and Women in STEM.
All my classes are anchored in exciting themes such as "Surviving a Zombie Apocalypse through STEM", "Interesting Animals from A to Z", and "Microscopic Adventures!". I generally have a short presentation which I try to keep 5-10 minutes long with the rest of the class time working with hands on learning. I create all my own high-quality material that your students will enjoy engaging with. My classroom is inclusive to all.
Interesting facts about myself:
1) I am an identical twin.
2) I have studied seabirds in Antarctica.Reviews
