We support and center students as they learn and advocate for informed choices by bridging the lessons they learn in their classrooms to the foods on their lunch trays, at home, and in their communities.

How does Pilot Light work with students?
Pilot Light’s community of teachers builds on students’ knowledge and experiences of and with food through the lessons teachers are already teaching. Through Pilot Light and food education, students engage more deeply in core subjects, like math, reading, history, and science, and learn about food and how it connects us to ourselves, our communities, and our world, while advocating for an equitable future.
Pilot Light lessons are inspired by all sorts of foods! Check out students’ collaborative exploration of cheese — students learned about the sources, origins, and uses of cheese and researched fun facts. Speaking of which: did you know that cheddar is the second most popular cheese in the United States?
Be sure to explore lessons for grades pre-K-12 on our Food Education Center at the #linkinbio!
