Group Creative Activities - Preparing Menu and 2 Dishes

                                 After the pitch;  food tasting and dinner

AGSB, Ateneo Professional School, de la Costa Campus.  January 15, 2013.  The MBA Standard Sentrep class had did cooking/food preparation exercise for one hour as part of Group Creative Exercise.  It was a graded exercise, and Ms Athens Cruz, one of the students was chosen as the judge to choose the best group.

The exercise involved the professor bringing in two major ingredients:    bell pepper and strawberries.  It is the challenge for the groups to come up with two dishes:   one sour and one sweet that match the two major ingredients.  This was announced before hand and the students could bring utensils and other ingredients to complete the two dishes.

After wards they made the pitches (to sell the food to their classmates) by 8 o clock and thereafter, to taste and eat their creation (free dinner)

Why was this done?

l.  There is no fab lab or 3d printer to practice product design;   (we did it earlier with trash)
2.  Food is the biggest consumption in the society;  no one may go wrong with food business;
3.  Food preparation techniques/strategies could be endless
4.  Almost everybody, man or woman would know how to cook;   so practicing innovation and creativity via this exercise is easy

                                  Ingredients from the professor:  bell pepper dn strawberries

                                  Startting to prepare:   Cams, Arlo and Jenlos group
