Chocolate - 1-3 pm, 3-weeks

About this event

Hands-on workshop all about the nature of chocolate with Norman Wittels at New England Sci-Tech.

Activities are geared toward 4th to 12th grade students, and a parent is encouraged to participate with their student.

The workshop is intended to be experienced in a 3-session sequence, as the later concepts build upon previous experiences.

Class 01  Molding Chocolates
Do you want to make molded chocolate bonbons and bars?  This class teaches molding using both commercial molds and custom molds based on student sketches by means of 3D printing and silicone molding.

Class 02 Chocolate Physical and Chemical Properties
Do you wonder what is in chocolate that gives it snap and gloss and that makes it susceptible to heat damage? In this class, we will explore the critical ingredients in chocolate, study processing techniques, and learn how to prepare and store chocolate.

Class #3: Printing Chocolates 
Have you noticed chocolates that have color patterns on them and wonder how they are made?  In this class, show how to print on chocolates, using both commercial pre-printed patterns and patterns based on student sketches.
