Participants experience a variety of learning methods and tools such as games, case scenarios, computer software programs, cooking demonstrations, and fitness challenges. Most activities range from 45 to 60 minutes and include accompanying handouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each activity includes a Teen Research (TR) Challenge take-home task.
