Described as family dining for the digital age, Sue's Tech Kitchen offers a family-friendly dining experience from author and entrepreneur Randi Zuckerberg. The tech-focused popup restaurant was designed by a NASA scientist and features a variety of imagination-boosting technologies for kids to interact with.
With an aim to provide a "STEM-inspired adventure," Sue's Tech Kitchen encourages children to engage with technology while totally turning your preconceived notion of a family-friendly dining experience on its head. In addition to feeding your family, the experiential restaurant also exposes young ones to science and technology that will shape their futures. This includes 3D printing dessert, coding with candy and making music with produce. The popup began its beta national tour in Chattanooga, Tennessee with plans to hit the road.
