High school students improve the quality of life for children with cancer in this episode of NJEA’s Classroom Close-up. Bergen County Technical High School culinary students work with marketing students to create a unique food product for oncology patients at Hackensack Medical Center. In order to meet the needs of children undergoing chemotherapy, the students create calorie-dense original products that taste good. Experts from Rutgers Food Science department as well as industry executives from Pepsi help the students with product development.
