Students majoring in culinary arts and science and nutrition sciences, as well as food entrepreneurship and innovation certificate students in Drexel's College of Nursing and Health Professions, will be challenged to create an almond-based packaged snack product with functional, better-for-you attributes that appeal to Gen Z and millennial consumers. The competition is open to Drexel University postsecondary (18+) students studying culinary arts, food science, culinary science, nutrition, food entrepreneurship, food studies, or a related field. Students begin the product development process independently or as part of their coursework in food product development in Drexel's Department of Food and Hospitality Management and incubate their ideas further in the Drexel Food Lab.
