Candy Around the World: A Candymaking, Geography, and Molecular Chemistry Class

$480.00

For Grades 3-5

Have you ever wondered what kind of candy children eat in Tokyo? Or Sao Paulo? Come with us on our sugar-fueled journey around the globe and learn about different countries and cultures, through candy!

Each week, children will study a new country and their traditions in candymaking, and then work together to cook up a batch of confections that they’ll bring home to share with friends and family. From Ancient Egyptian marshmallows and Hawaiian Li Hing Mui gummies, to Peruvian Choco Tejas and Japanese crystal candy, it is going to be a wild ride through history and the globe.

(And candymaking is mostly about sugar science, so we will of course have to discuss whatever those molecules are doing.)

This class will run for 12 weeks, each week introducing a new country and recipe. Drop off is between 3-3:30pm. We will have a walking school bus from Union Elementary School.

Thursdays 3pm to 5pm | December 4, 2025 to March 12, 2025 (No class on December 25th, January 1st, and February 26th.)
