Design A Chocolate Bar

In this Challenge, students will explore how one of the most loved snack items is made and then, using the Engineering Design Process develop their own chocolate bar and branding for it. We are combining all the aspects of STEM to help students not just develop their skills in fun ways but give them insight into a familiar product.

The chocolate bar industry is an $18 billion industry, with the average American eating three chocolate bars a week. Consumers love variety and new exciting chocolate bars to try. This challenge will use a student’s imagination and creativity to see if they can become a chocolatier.

All our Challenges are created in such a way that Trainees of any age can use them. Our test Trainee group ranges in age from 7 years old to 14 years old. However, we have had 5-year-olds successfully complete Challenges with assistance, and even a few parents joined their Trainees to learn to code! We recommend simplifying the task for younger Trainees and helping them with the Challenge Kits. For older students, we recommend that they go more in-depth and that their finished solution is of a higher standard and more detailed. We have also taken into consideration different learning styles. So the Portfolio and Lessons can be adapted to each Trainee’s needs. Ultimately, our program is about working through the process. And you are never too young or too old to learn that skill.

For this Challenge, Trainees over 8 years old should be able to complete it without assistance. Younger Trainees will require assistance.
