First Friday: School Lunch Unboxed
October 4 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Come to the Science History Institute this Friday for a special treat! To pair with the new exhibition, Lunchtime: The History of Science on the School Food Tray, we will be exploring the surprising history of school lunch. How do we decide what goes on the menu and how do we get it there? Have you ever thought about the history behind your favorite lunch box or trusty thermos?
Interact with our handling collections to learn about how we keep food safe and accessible to children, locally and internationally. Try your hand at making the best sandwich in our school lunch-themed card games while enjoying some snacks you may have wished you had on your lunch tray. Our library will be showcasing some of our rare books paired with a fun craft using images from our digital collections!
First Fridays at the Science History Institute are always free and open to the public. Attendees will receive a 10% discount to National Mechanics restaurant.
