In 2024, Chef Bates applied for and won a $5000 Duke STEM Energy Partnership Grant from the Foundation for OCPS. Wekiva Culinary students will soon study the science, engineering, and technology that go into making delicious Boba Tea, the beverage craze that is sweeping the world and will be sharing what we have learned as we open our one-of-a-kind, after school Boba Tea Cafe.
This page contains links to background information we have studied (science, history and whatnot), the recipes we will be using, menus, pricing, and availability, and all the other details our student workers and future customers will need to follow along on our journey. Feel free to reach out to Chef Bates about bringing the magic of Boba to your special event – our students get lots of great experience that will help in their future careers by catering such events (and our customers love us!).
