About
StemChef

StemChef is a philosophy of teaching science through cooking to young children. It combines hands-on experimentation with practical application to everyday lives. What is more practical in daily life than food?

The concept of an escape room engages kids from the start with hands-on doing giving them the sense of accomplishment in discovering different science concepts.

It will be the best hour they would have spent not even realizing they learnt heavy scientific concepts. StemChef literally brings science to the dinner table!

What a novel idea for a birthday party! My son & his friends loved the idea of an escape room. They found it challenging yet fun and loved the way in which Ashie ( the owner of StemChef) presented everything in an unexpected way. It is hard to keep twelve year olds interested but this concept kept them intrigued all through.
Ashie is wonderful & patient to work with. She is passionate about STEM & cooking and she puts it together such that young minds understand it well. We exchanged emails and she had everything down in great detail which makes it stress less.
Her place is neatly organized -looks like a small laboratory .

Both my kids, ages 11 and 13 loved the experience at StemChef! The idea of integrating baking/cooking with an escape room concept is brilliant. Ashie, the owner is incredibly creative and you can tell she is deeply passionate about educating little minds in exciting ways. We are looking forward to taking on the next challenge!
