The SEE Science Center opened their newest exhibit today called: “Science In The Kitchen With Chef Nicole!” The exhibit, donated by Great NH Restaurants, was created by their own Corporate Chef, Nicole Barreira, known for her dedication to healthy food and getting children involved in meal preparation at an early age.
The exhibit features a “kid-sized” kitchen display, where children can get familiar with the in’s and out’s of a real kitchen, and how much fun it is to be involved in the planning and preparation of meals. Children can pretend to be the Chef of the day by donning the Chef Nicole kids’ chef hats and aprons as they learn and play with mini stoves, sinks and refrigerators. The new exhibit also features plenty of information on the science behind eating healthy and includes facts and tips that will surprise and enlighten even the adult visitors!
Chef Nicole introduced the exhibit to young attendees including her own two daughters. “Cooking together is one of the best ways for families to spend quality time together and for parents to get their youngsters on the right path toward healthy living. I hope this interactive display will inspire everyone to enjoy cooking as much as I do. After all, food tastes better with family!” states Chef Nicole. “We are so pleased to unveil this new display right now. This time of year it’s a great thing for parents to do with kids during holiday vacation times. While one parent is doing the holiday shopping, the other brings the children to SEE for a great learning experience,” stated Douglas Heuser, SEE Executive Director.

During the opening Mayor Gatsas said, “It is very important, especially today, with all the couch activities that kids have, that they eat healthy. Chef Nicole has done a great job here.” Both Senator Shaheen and Senator Ayotte sent messages of thanks to both Chef Nicole and the SEE Science Center for educating families about the importance of healthy eating and meal preparation. Chef Nicole hopes that this exhibit will become a model for similar exhibits in children’s science museums around the country.
