Nerdy Baker was born out of a deep desire to share stories, connect, and learn. Cooking, baking, and farming were the first times a human interacted with the fundamentals of science thousands of years ago. Nerdy Baker is passionate about sharing food’s science story to make science easier to connect with for all.
Joce, the founder of Nerdy Baker, began baking at 11 years old. There was always something about food that drew her in and made time nonexistent. As she became more confident in the kitchen, she began to experiment with food. Those experiments made Joce realize that food had a very scientific story to share as well.
Joce also loved science and math; she began to notice that she was better in her science, math, and engineering classes because she understood the fundamentals of measurement, heat transfer, and material science from her baking. And, she started to wonder if other people liked learning with their hands like she did.
She found principles were cemented in her brain once she understood them in her food; it took her so much more time to learn in the classroom. Sharing food’s science story allowed her to connect with science in a way that a classroom never enabled her.
Nerdy Baker continues to share food’s science story to build a deeper connection for all with their food and the science that surrounds our world.
