Probably the most famous of all EduProtocols, the Iron Chef is basically a gamified jigsaw activity. Modeled after the Iron Chef TV show, students collaborate to give the judges delicious dishes (slides). TV Iron Chefs use kitchen tools and ingredients to transform the episode's secret ingredient into spectacular plates of food. In the classroom, Iron Chefs use Google Slides and teacher selected sources of information to create a spectacular presentation. Whereas TV Iron Chefs cook collaboratively with their sous chefs, classroom Iron Chefs work in groups of 4. Each of the 4 students create their own slide in the shared group slide deck. Each slide is different, yet all about the same topic. When the Iron Chef TV show secret ingredient is chocolate, each plate presented to the judges should highlight chocolate. When the classroom Iron Chef activity topic is Vincent van Gogh, each slide should be related to one of his artworks (Work samples below).

Iron Chef is explained in Chapter 26 of the EduProtocol Field Guide Book 1.
