WHAT: The UF/IFAS food science and human nutrition department has partnered with Taste of Immokalee to bring 20 youth to the UF campus to explore food science and develop a new food product with current UF food science undergraduates. On July 26, the group will learn about coffee roasting and meet with their undergraduate mentors. On July 27, they will learn about 3D printed food.
