MAPCRAFT
Everyone uses maps to get where we need to go, but who
creates them? Businesses use maps to deliver and
receive food, medicine, and all kinds of materials.
Biologists use maps to monitor wildlife and habitats.
Maps allow people to quickly respond to fires and
emergencies. Discover how maps guide us across the
globe and in your neighborhood. Have fun with interactive
and hands-on activities. Create three-dimensional maps.
Learn to use a compass! Observe and collect information
about our world then craft that information into maps for
others to use and follow. Crafting maps will be a
blast...MapCraft!
Todos usamos mapas para llegar a donde debemos ir,
pero ¿quién los crea? Las empresas usan mapas para
entregar y recibir alimentos, medicinas y todo tipo
demateriales. Observa y recopila información sobre
nuestro mundo y luego construye con esa información
varios mapas digitales para que otros los usen y sigan.
Crear mapas será una maravilla ... ¡MapCraft!

FIRST AID, CPR &
CAREERS IN HEALTH
Being knowledgeable and skilled in providing first aid can help
you make your school, home and community a safer place to be.
When a person is injured or becomes suddenly ill, your quick
action can prevent the injury or illness from worsening, and it
may even save the person’s life. Although every emergency
situation is unique, understanding basic principles of giving first
aid care will always serve you well. This fun and hands-on class
will teach participants how to recognize signs of an emergency
and how to properly respond to one by providing first aid care.
Topics will cover: Hand hygiene, personal protective equipment
(PPE) such as gloves and face coverings, checking an injured or ill
person, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), bandaging, first aid
for choking, tourniquet use and various careers in health.
Primeros auxilios, reanimación cardiopulmonar y carreras en el
sector salud: Estar bien informado y capacitado para brindar
primeros auxilios puede ayudar a hacer de tu escuela, hogar y
comunidad un lugar más seguro. Esta clase divertida y práctica le
enseñará a los participantes cómo reconocer los signos de una
emergencia y cómo responder adecuadamente a uno
proporcionando atención de primeros auxilios.
