About the project
Pan-Dem-Make "Making/Baking Made Fun"
Since Covid-19 is still lingering and causing havoc among us, we're taking a tough word (Pandemic) and making it a little easier to absorb. Introducing Pan-Dem-Make! Our organization "Aayden's Playce", supports Children of Incarcerated Parents, and other at-risk families. We intend to serve and supply our friends of this population, with an opportunity to bond with family, learn, have fun, create and enjoy the art of cake making and design.

Why we‘re doing it
Our families who have children with incarcerated parents are further marginalized during this Pandemic by not having adequate access to them. Surely this has increased isolation and sadness in these children. Not to mention, the shortened educational year they faced. With Pan-Dem-Make, families are able to cure some of the isolation, have fun making pastries and curb some of the learning loss. Through measuring ingredients, reading recipes, and keeping track of time while baking, we introduce an added opportunity to learn and bond with family.
