From 19th to 22nd February, NNEdPro participated in the Dundee Science Festival, organised by the Dundee Science Centre.

Through our booth, we showcased the Scottish Mobile Teaching Kitchen (MTK) and highlighted its development and impact over the past three years. The event provided a valuable opportunity to engage directly with the public and share our work to improve access to practical food and nutrition education across communities.

With more than 1,500 attendees, the festival drew a diverse audience of adults, families and children. The MTK was among the most visited exhibits, reflecting strong interest in its approach and relevance. This engagement enabled us to broaden awareness of the model and deepen understanding of how it supports healthier, more informed food choices.

It was a privilege for the Scottish MTK team to contribute to an event that places scientific knowledge, public engagement and community learning at its core.
