The "Microwave Magic" curriculum series is full of hands-on activities that focus on using the microwave to prepare everything from simple snacks to complete meals. The curriculum is designed around four major categories: techniques and equipment, healthy food selection, food preparation, and meal time magic.

A total of five pieces are available in the "Microwave Magic" series. The four activity guides - Bag of Tricks, Micro Magicians, Amazing Rays, and Presto Meals - have been designed to be developmentally appropriate for grades 3-4, 5-6, 7-9, 10-12 respectively, but may be used by youth in any grade based on their project skills and expertise. The fifth piece, the Project Helper's Guide, has been designed to provide the Project Helper with some additional background information and tips on helping youth through the activities in their guide.
