Summer Camp- Fab Lab UKULELE BUILDING- kids, laser cutting and engraving

A 3-Day camp for the kids of all ages to take advantage of the equipment in the Fab Lab at Lake Michigan College. Each participant will start with a ukulele "kit" which will include the parts of the ukulele as well as the strings. We will guide each participant through the motions of putting together the ukulele, decorating it, stringing the instrument as well as teaching you how to play the instrument.

The week's activities will include:

• Monday- learning how the lasers work, cutting out the front and back of the ukulele with different types of wood and learning Adobe Illustrator for decoration of the instrument
• Tuesday- participants will finish up decoration and construction of their ukulele and start the stringing process
• Wednesday- Our luthier will help each participant finish up the stringing of the instrument and our first music lesson will start.

Participants should be at least 8 years old to participate within this camp. Proper attire is also needed. No open toed shoes or loose clothing. No “dangling” jewelry and all hair will need to be tied back.
