Technology can be pretty distracting at the dinner table, when people are texting instead of talking to their family members. But technology has the opposite effect at Sue's Tech Kitchen.Serving sweet treats inspired by STEM education, the place gets kids and parents interacting with each other and playing with high-tech gadgets that combine coding and dining. For example, a robot controlled by candy.
FROM A MEDIA RELEASE:
Randi Zuckerberg, Founder and CEO of Zuckerberg Media, will debut Sue’s Tech Kitchen on July 28th in Chattanooga, TN. Sue’s Tech Kitchen is a tech-fueled wonderland for the mouth and mind, featuring a STEM-inspired adventure for the whole family to empower kids to engage with tomorrow’s technologies and revolutionize family dining in the process.
Envisioned by Zuckerberg and designed by NASA scientist Sam Pfister, Sue’s Tech Kitchen is an innovative space that combines dining and technology while immersing guests in a tech playground, allowing them to experience the most cutting edge technologies and enjoy a delightfully interactive dining experience. Diners will be able to eat in the digital age, while composing music with their food, 3D printing their dessert, coding videos game with candy and so much more.
“I’m always encouraging parents to embrace technology into their family’s lives in an interactive and healthy way instead of being afraid of it,” says New York Times bestselling author, Randi Zuckerberg, “So when I was at a restaurant with my two boys, I thought ‘how cool would it be if a drone could deliver our food? Or if we could code with candy?’ As a result, Sue’s Tech Kitchen is coming to life, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be bringing it first to Chattanooga.”
After visiting Chattanooga’s Innovation District and seeing how positively the city embraces entrepreneurship and how they foster start-ups, Zuckerberg knew immediately it was the ideal place to launch Sue’s Tech Kitchen and BETA test the technology.
Sue’s Tech Kitchen is on the second floor of Chattanooga's Tomorrow Building and will be open only for three days: the 28th, 29th and 30th of July. Next year, the pop-up restaurant is expected to go on tour around the nation.
