There’s Still Time to Register for MCC’s College for Kids
Running through Thu., Aug. 8, College for Kids offers children ages 8 to 17 hands-on, interactive and engaging classes in the arts & STEM
College for Kids is off to a strong start this summer at Middlesex Community College. Running through Thursday, August 8, College for Kids offers children ages 8 to 17 hands-on, interactive and engaging classes in the arts and STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics). This includes an annual aviation course taught by a professional pilot.
“Doing the four-day aviation camp was able to give me a little bit of an inside look at how and what it means to be a pilot,” said Henry D., of North Andover, a College for Kids Student. “The instructor John – who is a pilot for Cape Air – is able to put the things he is saying into words everyone can understand! John was also able to bring another pilot from Cape Air to talk to us. This was a sure 10/10 experience and can't wait to do it again next year!
Remaining classes this summer include a dance bootcamp, DIY crafts, fashion design and jewelry, film production and editing, game design, cakes and cupcakes, and Lego Mindstorms Robotics and Battlebots.

Run by the Community Education and Training team, programs are taught by public school teachers and expert professionals on MCC’s Bedford and Lowell campuses. Students learn new skills, meet new friends, boost self-confidence, and explore future careers.
Featuring five weeks of full- and half-day programs, Monday through Thursday, full-day programs run 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and half-day programs run 9 a.m. to noon or 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Students who take two half-day programs to make a full day can stay on campus for lunch in between the two sessions.

“College for Kids offers fun, interactive and educational experiences for young students over the summer,” said Ellen Wright, MCC’s Assistant Director of Lifelong Learning and Workforce Development. “The variety of our programs allow kids to explore the arts and sciences, visit a college campus, and enjoy subjects they may not have the chance to do during the school year. We are thrilled by the success of this summer and look forward to ending the year with a line-up of exciting classes.”
