DID YOU KNOW Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math = STEM! • The fastest-growing occupations over the next ten years are in STEM fields.

It is such a privilege to be part of North Shore Community College as we celebrate the College’s 50th Anniversary! The celebration started with the moving September 2014 Inauguration of the College’s new President, Dr. Patricia Gentile. It will continue as we break ground later this year for 10 new classrooms at our Lynn Campus. Our youth programs will continue to focus on fun and educational classes that promote Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math skills and challenges.

Look over our Winter/Spring Saturday morning classes, as well as our April Vacation and after school opportunities with your child. Join us for some great classes that help build self- esteem and unite kids with similar interests from all over the North Shore.

Here’s to 50 more years of learning at North Shore Community College!

Nancy Tracy, NSCC Youth Programs Coordinator ntracy@northshore.edu 978-236-1200

• S TEM occupations have grown 8% in the last 10 years and are expected to grow twice as fast (17%) in the next ten years.

How much does a course cost?

Each class is $99 or $198 for two. Instructors may charge a materials fee which is indicated by the course description. Please pay this fee at the first class, to the instructor.

Are there discounts if I sign up for two classes or have more than one child registering?

North Shore Community College is committed to keeping the cost as low as possible, therefore, tuition is priced accordingly so that no other discount is available.

How do I register?

There are three easy ways: fax, mail, or over the phone. See Registration Form.

How many classes can my child take?

Your child may take up to two classes each Saturday morning.

Session 1 runs from 9:00 AM–10:30 AM Session ll runs from 10:40 AM–12:10 PM

Why do classes sometimes get cancelled and how can I help to be sure they run?

We need to give our instructors five days notice if their class is not going to run. Therefore, if we can get as many registrations in as early as possible, everyone wins.

Is my child always accompanied by an adult to classes and bathroom breaks?

Absolutely! Kids to College students (grades K–3) are taken as a group for bathroom breaks with a counselor. North Shore Academy students (grades 4–8) always go with a partner or counselor. All instructors, counselors, and staff are CORI checked for everyone’s safety.

How do I know if our class is cancelled due to inclement weather?

• M any of the highest-paying jobs require STEM preparation and STEM workers earn 26% more than their non-STEM peers.

Add Art and it’s STEAM! • Arts and Problem Solving – Artistic creations are born through the solving of problems. How do I turn this clay into a sculpture? How do I portray a particular emotion through dance?

How will my character react in this situation?

Without even realizing it, kids that participate in the arts are consistently being challenged to solve problems. All this practice problem solving develops children’s skills in reasoning and understanding. This will help develop important problem-solving skills necessary for success in any career.

I see there is a crossover in some classes for kids in grades 4-8. Why is that?

We have found that many kids taking classes in certain subjects work together well and it is not so much about age as it is ability!
