Join us at the Peabody Museum for a tasty workshop that will explore the origins of cacao. Teens—ages 13 to 18—will delve into the rich history and cultural significance of cacao, from its honored status in ancient Maya culture to its evolution into the delicious chocolate we enjoy today. Participants will create their own xocolatl, a traditional Maya beverage, using authentic ingredients and techniques and will get both a taste of history and a deeper understanding of ancient practices.
Teen Saturday Workshops are offered bilingually in Spanish and English. They are designed to build community and improve the museum experience for multicultural teens. Snacks provided!
$10 fee includes free admission to all HMSC museums following the workshop.
Teens receive a membership worth $100 after attending three or more Teen Saturday Workshops per semester. Or, receive a free admission pass (worth $15) for a return visit if you attend one of the four sessions.
Presented by the Peabody Museum of Archaeology & Ethnology and the Harvard Museums of Science & Culture.
