Middlesex Community College makes summer plans easy with its College for Kids offerings. The interactive and engaging summer classes provide children and teens ages 8 to 17 with unique opportunities to explore careers, learn new skills, meet new friends, and boost self-confidence. Registration is now open.
“We’re looking forward to offering a combination of beloved returning and exciting new programs this summer for College for Kids,” said Ellen Wright, MCC’s Assistant Director of Lifelong Learning and Workforce Development. “Every program offers hands-on experiences to keep kids having fun and staying busy in a productive environment. This summer, take advantage of allowing your child to explore new interests and subjects not often taught in traditional school classes.”
MCC’s College for Kids programs are taught by public school teachers and expert professionals. Topics include STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), arts and crafts, baking, aviation, photography, fashion design, online gaming and game design, filmmaking, and fitness.
