This year's i4-H camp was a little different. With a portion of the camp being sponsored by Maker Media, the youth were able to build and experiment with several different types of projects that were unfamiliar. One of the projects they did was using a product called Lumi Inkodye where you combine photos, dye, and sunlight to make designs on fabric. Visit their website here and scroll down to see a video of how it works.
Maker Media is a organization that is focused on connecting people who love to build (or MAKE) things. Maker Media also publishes a magazine called MAKE: where enthusiast in the Maker Movement can get challenges and ideas on how to build a variety of things. What greater partner for 4-H - a historically strong HANDS ON LEARNING organization? 4-Hers learn great skills by getting in there with their hands and they definitely can MAKE things happen.
