Free Event | While Supplies Last*

*Open to ages 3 – 18. Please note a parent or guardian must accompany the participant during the duration of the event.

Join the El Paso Museum of History for Kids Table, a new youth-focused version of our ongoing Community Table series. During this event, participants (ages 3-18) will learn about the origins of atole and how to make it. Atole is a nourishing, warm drink that is part of Mexican culture. In this hands-on workshop, children and youth will make two types of atole: the classic champurrado (chocolate) and atole de guayaba (guava), both of which are corn-based. Parents and guardians will enjoy a cup of atole prepared by their children at the end. Rubí will also create space to share and learn together about the cultural significance of this Mesoamerican drink.

This workshop will be led by Rubí Orozco Santos. Rubí is a poet, narrative writer, and environmental writer working at the intersection of food and language.

The Community Table series is generously supported by Albertsons.
