Kitchens of the Future Student Contest Winner

This year NKBA National announced The Kitchen of the Future Contest as part of the Next Up Program. The Kitchen of the Future Contest was a short competition held for 8th & 9th-grade students from October 1st, 2022- October 31st, 2022 in order to introduce them to the Kitchen & Bath Industry. The winning student and their school each received a check for $250! Students were instructed to think about a problem that occurs in the kitchen and consider how it could be solved. Each participating student created a visual presentation describing the problem they see and a possible solution for it. Two schools in our chapter region decided to participate and our amazing judges had a great time reviewing the projects submitted by the students! We would like to thank Dr. Cameron Hays from Prairie Middle School in Aurora, CO, and Ms. Amy Balk from Falcon Middle School in Falcon, CO for encouraging their students to participate in this exciting new program. The Rocky Mountain Chapter felt all the participating students were deserving of a prize for putting in the extra effort it took to submit and added $10 gift cards for each participant!

The winning student project was submitted by...

Nicole Russell from Falcon Middle School for her Smart Waiter.

A special Thank You to all of our judges who took time out of their busy days to review and score the student projects.
