This project, which ran during 2019, incorporated Australian mushrooms and onions into the existing Phenomenom initiative which focuses on increasing kids’ education about vegetables. New outputs include a new podcast and grower interview series, teacher guidebook and updates to the existing website.

Phenomenom consists of 25 webisodes and 50 downloadable lesson plans that can be accessed from a dedicated website as well as a teacher video resource platform ClickView.

The team produced…

• 1 webisode on the Phenomenom website and available for screening on Qantas inflight entertainment.
• 8 podcast episodes.
• 2 grower interview episodes.
• 9 downloadable teaching resources for teachers with each resource linked to at least one new or existing webisode, podcast episode or grower interview.
• Website updates including new sections for the podcast and grower interview series.

This project has been funded by Hort Innovation, using the research and development levies listed below and contributions from the Australian Government. Hort Innovation is the grower-owned, not-for-profit research and development corporation for Australian horticulture.
