In the FFA, food science is a Career Development Event that happens in November each year. FFA members are to participate in this CDE, and they are involved within the chapter.
The past few weeks, the Hillsboro food science team has been practicing and preparing for the sub-districts contest which took place Nov. 19. The team worked on triangle test, distinguishing different scents and taste of samples and machine recognition. The contestants were tasked with learning about food safety practices and learning about what a food scientist does.
