The University of Illinois Extension Unit 18 continues to stay busy throughout the summer by holding workshops and classes for both kids and adults. From July 5th through the 7th, Maker Monkeys Digital Fabrication Camp for kids in grades 6 through 9 will be held. Terri Miller, Publicist for U of I Extension Unit 18, said the camp is great for kids to learn problem solving and learn how to things that can improve the use of items, such as cell phones.

Miller also explained what the kids will be doing during each day of the Digital Fabrication Camp, and how they will be utilizing design software, creating their products with a 3D printer, tweaking them, and getting them ready for sale as they would in the business world.
