BETTER BABY SITTERS | 10-14 YRS ENRICHING KIDZ Would your son or daughter know what to do if the child they were babysitting for started to choke? Would they know what to do if they were taking care of several children and someone came to the door? Does your child baby sit younger siblings? Why not enroll your child in a Better Baby Sitters course. Students learn the responsibilities of having a job, the Rights of a Baby Sitter, Heimlich maneuver, CPR for a Child and Infant, Basic First Aid, Growth and Development, and appropriate toys and activities for kids. They also learn diaper changing, infant care and how to feed a toddler. The most important component of the Better Baby Sitters course is that it is fun! Your child receives a certificate after completion of the class. A digital student manual is sent to the parents’ email and a fully stocked First Aid kit and certificate is sent to the family home via USPS. Students use their own large stuffed animals and dolls, if available, for CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver practice. 223601 A Noon-4 pm M | W 6/17-6/19 Hastings Middle School $125 R | $150 NR O 2 sessions JUNIOR LEGO ROBOT | 5-8 YRS Gail Vawter Bring your ideas to life in this popular option for budding engineers who love LEGOs. The program has three options – a full-day session, a morning session and an afternoon session. In the morning, participants learn ‘rapid prototyping,’ a technique that involves quickly building prototypes of invention ideas using LEGO Robotics, cardboard, LEGOs and 3D printers. Participants design and build custom inventions with the help of their instructor and then present their prototypes to a Shark Tank-style panel. Students also complete robot challenges. The afternoon session focuses on building and programming robots. Students learn to program BattleBots in Scratch programming language using sensors and logic for a fun Arduino LEGO Robot BattleBot championship. Students who register for the full-day program have a supervised lunch break between sessions. 222858 A 9:30 am-4:30 pm M-F 6/3-6/7 $642 R | $770 NR 222858 B 9:30 am-12:30 pm M-F 6/3-6/7 $342 R | $409 NR 222858 C 1:30-4:30 pm M-F 6/3-6/7 $342 R | $409 NR Hastings Middle School
