Teams of students from across the country have traveled to Washington in recent years to compete in Cooking up Change, a national contest that challenges high school students to create meals that meet nutrition standards and can be easily replicated in schools.
Hosted by Healthy Schools Campaign, Cooking Up Change is a dynamic culinary competition that puts student voices front-and-center in the national conversation about school food.
