In this project, we will learn about how babies develop before birth and through childhood. Various guest speakers will tell us about careers associated with kids, how to keep kids safe, and how to interact with kids on their level. Join us if you adore babies or if they freak you out, if you’re interested in working with children in the future or if you just want to learn what to say to a kid besides “Wow, you’re taller than the last time I saw you!”
