Kids classes to go digital
Rose State College will host Kids College and Teen Scene classes online this summer.
The new format allows for students to safely learn amid COVID-19 concerns and have fun with instructors teaching STEM, cooking, art, sports and other educational topics.
Classes will start as scheduled on June 8 and run through Aug. 3. But instead of faceto-face learning, students will go on Facebook to retrieve the daily lessons and meet up with Kids College host Kathy Gentry. To see a schedule of offerings for each week, parents can go to the Kids College website at www.rose.edu/kids.
