Cookwala / For

For school teachers, educators, professors, researchers and students

Cooking is the most familiar process in the world, and Cookwala turns it into a teaching object: temperatures, units, fair sharing, safety, machines that follow rules. For researchers it is a benchmark, a dataset format and an open-problems list.

Why it matters to you

Teachers get five lessons that use the live demos and the example recipes and collect nothing from students. Professors and students get operation envelopes as simulation test conditions, 137 conformance vectors, nine recipes with end conditions in two languages, four simulators with every assumption listed, an execution-log format with exporters to LeRobot and OpenTelemetry, a facet registry for privacy engineering, and a list of thesis-sized open problems that nobody owns.

Ways in, light to deep

Teachers. Run the lesson kit: what is a simmer, units and scaling, when is it done and safe, what a machine must never do, fair sharing.
Professors and students. Pick an open problem; use the simulators and vectors; propose a dataset or a benchmark.
Researchers. Publish datasets of consented executions; critique the simulators' assumptions; propose vectors and RFCs.

First success, under 15 minutes

Teachers: run the browser dry run in class on koshari with the device without thermometers and ask why it refused. Students: change one assumption in the city simulator and explain the result in a paragraph.

The path after that

Lesson → project → dataset → paper → RFC
