The Great Bend Recreation Commission has openings left for its Incredible Wearables Kids Day Out set for Monday, February 26, from 9 am. – 4 pm. for children ages 7 – 12 at the Great Bend Activity Center located at 2715 18th St.
The morning will start off with organized games and crafts. Following a morning of fun, students will make ham and cheese sandwiches, fruit, and other food items for lunch along with a beverage. In the afternoon, Susan Schlichting and Berny Unruh, Agents from the Cottonwood District Extension Office, will present the program “Incredible Wearables”. If you’ve ever wondered how wearable technology like the FitBit or the Apple Watch works, then the Incredible Wearables challenge is for you! You and your team of other participants will work together as an engineering team to build a functioning health monitor using a small computer and sensors. You will also be able to analyze the information you gather on a computer. Come and check out this new technology and its connection to science, engineering and technology in our everyday lives.
Pre-registrations required by Wednesday, February 21 at 5 pm. The entry fee is $15. To register, stop by the Recreation Commission office at 1214 Stone St. For more information, call the Recreation Commission office at 793-3755 ext. 2 or e-mail us at recreation@gbrec.net.
