MCC Offers Classes for Children and Teens Over February Break

Make your child’s February vacation a productive one with courses at Middlesex Community College. With 21 years of experience being a leader in online learning, Middlesex can help students ages 7 to 17 stay active, engaged and safe at-home. MCC’s online February vacation classes are immersive, interactive and fun – providing students with new activities, important knowledge and skills, and preparation for college.

“We have an exciting line-up of new classes this February break,” said Lauren Ellis, MCC’s Program Manager of Community Education and Training. “Having such a long history of success with online learning has allowed us to provide entertaining content that is informative and useful. Our other spring courses – including our partnership with Black Rocket – are also great options for students who want more stimulation and education throughout the year.”

Students interested in the culinary arts can test their kitchen skills with two new classes – Kids Breakfast and Snack Bites, and Aspiring Chefs. For both classes, students ages 7 through 12 can learn new recipes along with kitchen safety skills.

In Makeup for Beginners, students 12 and older learn about basic principles of practicing good skincare and applying makeup. Topics include matching colors to skin tone and knowing how to put together an appropriate look for different settings.

For students who want to hone valuable life skills, MCC is introducing two new classes that will set up students for success as they prepare for college and grow more independent. In Eye for Investing, middle schoolers learn the why, what and how of investing through playing games and other fun activities. High schoolers have the opportunity to discover more about personal finance tools – from credit scores to savings accounts – in Financial Adulting Toolkit.

Before and after February break, MCC offers courses to improve skills and introduce new topics. Foundations of Geometry – January 26 through March 4 – teaches a deeper understanding of geometry concepts. In the World of Electrical Engineering – March 2 to April 4 – students ages 12 to 17 learn about the base theory of electrical engineering and its relevancy in life.

MCC is continuing its partnership with Black Rocket to offer online Virtual Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) Camps at an affordable price. Through MCC, students can participate in high-quality live classes that cover topics including coding, game design, eSports, virtual reality and more.

For high schoolers looking to sharpen their test taking skills, Middlesex has partnered with The Princeton Review to offer MCC students 20 percent off test prep courses for the SAT and ACT.
