About Snackovation

What snack will the future taste like?

Snackovation! is a two-part creative challenge where children in mixed teams from Grades 1-5 imagine and create the snacks of the future. Students participate in teams, with roles divided by grade levels to encourage both imagination and hands-on creativity:

  • Grades 1–3: Design the snack through drawings and storytelling.
  • Grades 4–5: Bring the snack to life through safe, no-fire cooking and preparation.

Together, the team creates both the idea and the product, then presents it to judges. From futuristic treats to wild flavor combinations, the only limit is imagination!

Why Participate?

Snackovation! combines creativity, teamwork, and presentation skills in a fun format designed for younger learners.

  • Younger students learn to express their ideas visually and through storytelling.
  • Older students practice collaboration and hands-on creation.
  • Teams build confidence by presenting together in English.

It’s not just about cooking, it’s about working as a team and learning how ideas can become reality.
