Chef Maysaa Hassiba — Lecturer in Culinary Arts and Pastry - Chef Maysaa continuously evaluates and improves her teaching through student feedback, practical outcomes, and innovative classroom methods that connect culinary education with sustainability and real industry practice. She demonstrates exceptional engagement with students by mentoring, motivating, and involving them in hands-on learning experiences that build confidence, creativity, and professional responsibility beyond the classroom. Her sustained commitment to advancing the student experience is reflected in her innovative zero-waste teaching approach, which transforms practical kitchen sessions into impactful learning experiences focused on sustainability, critical thinking, and industry readiness.

I am a chef who teaches a kitchen course with software I wrote myself, so that no gram of food and no minute of a student's time is wasted.

IKRAM

IKRAM

THE STAR OF THE SUBMISSION

THE STAR OF THE SUBMISSION

Food waste in culinary education is rarely measured at the lecture or student level, making learning gaps, waste, and financial loss invisible. Drawing on her background in MIS, web development, and digital system design, Chef Maysaa conceived, designed, and built IKRAM at Al-Ahliyya Amman University — a purpose-built, AI-integrated waste intelligence platform first piloted in Semester 2, 2024–25 and now operating in its second live year across 46 students and 3 sections, where culinary and business school students collaboratively track ingredients, costs, CO₂ impact, and waste recovery in real time, reducing student waste levels from 38% to 10%, redirecting over 1.5 tons of waste, and achieving a 98.53% student evaluation score.

COMPETITION COACHING

SEPARATE, HIGH-IMPACT ACHIEVEMENT

SEPARATE, HIGH-IMPACT ACHIEVEMENT

Chef Maysaa is ALSO an elite competition coach. This is a completely different activity from IKRAM — it involves no waste tracking, no digital platform, and no classroom methodology. It produced: IBA UIBC Cup Düsseldorf 2025 (Jordan's first appearance), Mondial du Pain Nantes 2025 (first all-female Arab team), Coach Medal, and national medals. It proves excellence in a different dimension.

IMPORTANT — IKRAM TIMELINE: DEMO TO LIVE

IKRAM was not always a live system. It went through years of design thinking, informal testing, and experimentation before its formal first pilot in March 2025 (Semester 2, 2024–25). That pilot was the proof of concept. The current semester (Semester 2, 2025–26) is its SECOND year of live operation — now with version 5, 46 students, 3 sections, and full real-time data. The website must honour this journey. Do not present IKRAM as if it has always been operational.
