HCES - Survivor!
with Will Whetzel
Do you have what it takes to survive? What's the best way to get information when you can't use cell phones or the internet? How do you cook without electricity? How can you use what you know about science to protect yourself from extremes of heat and cold to keep yourself healthy and comfortable? What kind of technology is available to help people affected by natural disasters?
In this club, kids in 3rd grade will be introduced to a variety of survival skills! Fun hands-on activities and games each day will help students learn how to become survivors!
