Candy Judging at CSA

240sweet had the pleasure of judging a candy competition at Columbus Signature Academy. Sam and Nicole were able to try, test, and talk with students about their candy creations for the Sweet Side of Chemistry Competition. We were honored to be invited to participate in the judging.

Each student group created a confection and brand using their chemistry skills and ideas. They were many exciting, fun and tasty entires into the competition. The students not only used their chemistry know-how, but also incorporated marketing techniques that could be used to build the brand. Each group member had their own jobs and tasks to effectively develop a recipe and execute a final product. 

We had a wonderful time being a part of the judging panel, and certainly can't wait for the next competition. 

Great job CSA students and a big thank you to the faculty who coordinated the competition and sent us the wonderful invite!
