Triton FFA students demonstrate microwave 'mug cake' at board meeting
Summary
Triton FFA members Ruth Harms and Reagan Leaper demonstrated a microwave mug cake procedure and answered trustees' questions ahead of their statewide competition.
Ruth Harms and Reagan Leaper, representing Triton FFA, gave a brief food-science demonstration at the board meeting, explaining a microwave mug-cake experiment and safety steps. The students listed ingredients, described the role of baking powder in creating air bubbles that make the cake soft, and explained they would microwave the mixture for about 70 seconds.
The demonstration drew applause and a short Q&A with trustees and staff. The students said they will present at the state competition on June 15 and described testing and adjustments they made during practice runs. The board encouraged sharing the recipe online so others could replicate the experiment.
Why it matters: the demonstration highlights extracurricular STEM learning and student participation in career and technical education activities. Trustees and community members acknowledged the students’ work before the board moved on to routine business.
