"The students have the opportunity to see what industry does and
how it works. In particular, they learn what marketing involves and
the see their knowledge being practically applied – something
that doesn’t often happen in education at this level." -Burnham
Grammar School, USA
"Kids loved it. Very educational, very well prepared, [and] well
organized..." - Queenswell Primary School, High Wycombe, UK
"Giving the kids exposure to real world topics that they only
hear about in science and social studies. How the world uses science
and public opinion in the market place. We liked how the various professionals
didn’t disclose their positions or the product until the end.
You could see how the students put everything together once everything
was disclosed." -St. Josephs School, Oradell, NJ, USA
"The enthusiasm and positive attitudes of every person who came
was incredible. Everyone was very positive and very excited to be here
– it wasn’t like they were out doing a job." -Shaw
Butte Elementary, Phoenix, Arizona, USA
"The children write a self-report at the end of the year, including
what they feel they have achieved, what they need to work on next year
and their favourite and most memorable moments; the CONSUMER KNOWLEDGE
CENTRE project featured on every single personal report as one of these
moments!" -Tyler's Green School, Tyler's Green, UK
Middle Schools
"[CONSUMER KNOWLEDGE CENTRE] people are so great in how they interact
with the kids and how the kids respond. It’s a fun thing to watch.
Its so organized and well thought out." -Woodside Middle School,

"It taught group skills, communications skills, both oral and
written, through a very organized program that was presented by excellent
moderators for each group." - Christ our King Stella Maris School,
Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, USA

“I thought that this was an excellent, well organized program.
It was well received by the students, who were enthusiastic about their
participation. The presenters did an outstanding job of keeping the
students interested and engaged throughout the program.” -Wallington
High School
Wallington, NJ, USA
“I thought that they were extremely well organized. Their materials
were plenty and organized and available. They knew the direction they
wanted the program to go. They were flexible enough to work with the
room and the students they were given. And they have a great approach."
-Dumont High School, NJ, USA
"The best thing about the projects is that they are Fun- the kids
are so involved in enjoying themselves that the knowledge they gain
almost creeps up on them! Each project we have participated in has taught
concepts and ideas essential to a proper understanding of food technology
but is delivered in such a way that the kids really understand and can
apply the information they learn to other situations. I have children
who are using stuff they learned in year 8 in year 11 coursework - they
understand and remember it that well! They would never bother to find
it all from a textbook All the teams that work with the kids are knowledgeable
and professional and make the children feel that they have much to contribute.
It is a first taste of working in an adult way. I have learned so much
myself - my teaching methods have definitely benefited." - Lord
Grey, Milton Keynes, UK
"Terrific. Practical economics experience for kids. It showed
them how much influence they could have in a product." - Emmanuel
Lutheran High School, Arizona, USA
