LABolla is a food lab for kids in a primary school on Lago Maggiore in Italy. Material, time and temperature are the main subjects leading the marvellous discovery-based learning about food transformation. The lab consists of a large beech cutting board with transparent bubbles containing tools and machines that aid in new didactic workshop activities around food culture. An electric mill, thermoformer, fermentation cells, hydroponic garden, distiller, and digital (sound and video) devices are available to transform a common classroom into a special kitchen lab where it is possible to take history, geography, art, and science lessons while cooking and preparing recipies.
