At Wilson Talent Center, collaboration is more than a buzzword—it’s baked into the learning experience. On November 11, BioScience Careers and Culinary Arts students teamed up in the kitchen lab for a unique interdisciplinary lesson that blended public health, precision, and teamwork.
Using the Neogen's AccuPoint system, BioScience students tested how well the Culinary students performed their cleaning protocols on kitchen surfaces. The hands-on experience gave students the chance to apply scientific methods in a real-world setting while emphasizing the importance of sanitation in food preparation environments.
Dressed in lab coats and aprons, students worked together to swab surfaces, review results, and refine their approach—all while building essential communication and industry-readiness skills.
This type of partnership showcases the power of project-based learning and how CTE programs help students see the bigger picture: in today’s world, clean hands and curious minds go hand-in-hand.
