Issa’s Edible Adventures
by ALK Ventures, LLC
Issa’s Edible Adventures is an iOS app aimed at teaching kids diversity, social studies, global citizenship and cooking. But, most of all, it is meant to teach children that all cultures are valuable and have contributed in very unexpected ways to the world. It accomplishes this by following a young Chef’s travels around the world and back to her Mom’s restaurant kitchen. Food creates the entry point of interest (kids love food and cooking!) and offers up the opportunity to learn so much more – from language to geography to culture. We’re excited about this app because it not only uses a global story to thread in social studies, but it teaches kids how to cook in app (and they can print the recipe out at home).
