There’s Still Time to Register for MCC’s College for Kids Classes!

Middlesex Community College’s College for Kids is wrapping up another successful summer. Through Friday, August 11, kids ages 8 to 17 can explore interests, learn new skills, meet new friends, and boost self-confidence with a variety of fun and engaging classes.

“This is the second summer back in-person since the pandemic and it’s been great to see the kids engaged and having fun on our campus,” said Audrey Nahabedian, MCC’s Dean of Workforce Development. “Our classes allow kids to enjoy subjects they might not have a chance to during the school year, featuring hands-on, interactive activities in the arts and sciences.”

Starting on Monday, August 7, there is still time to register for the Cakes & Cupcakes, DIY Crafts, Coding for Teens, and Lego Mindstorms classes. Other options this summer included Fashion Design, Aviation, Introduction to Veterinary Science, All About Science, and Minecraft.

“My son had a wonderful time at College for Kids,” said Valerie Strezsak, of Tewksbury. “He was thrilled to learn how to do more in Minecraft, and wants to bring his friends with him next year.”

Students in College for Kids’ Theatre Camp will perform “The Addams Family” at 7 p.m. on Friday, August 11 and 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday, August 12.

Run by MCC’s Community Education and Training division, College for Kids classes are taught by public school teachers and professionals who are experts in their fields. Programs are offered in Bedford, featuring five weeks of full- and half-day programs through August 11, 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.
