Tours/Field Trips: False
Times: We cannot participate on Mondays as that is our payroll day.
Grades: Grades K-5
Comments: Field trips are not offered. We do, however, visit the schools with our mock assembly line. We prefer about 40 minutes to allow enough time per class. We have a short introduction, show a video, talk about how education relates to our jobs here and then make a mock assembly line process so the children can work on a "production line" and make cakes. We also give each child a ruler, a pencil and a wrapped cake. They then get to eat the cake they made earlier in the day.
