LLCC offering free Media Makers Camps

SPRINGFIELD — Lincoln Land Community College is offering free Media Makers Camps for high school students and recent graduates June 2-July 24 in which students can get an introductory, inside-look at the field of 21st-century graphic design, also known as integrated media design. The camps will be held at LLCC-Medical District, 130 W. Mason St., Springfield.
 
Each camp is four days with morning (9 a.m. to noon) and afternoon (1-4 p.m.) options. Registration is available at www.llcc.edu/media-makers.
 
During the camp, participants will explore the areas of animation, video games, social media and video. The sessions will be led by Matthew Shaver, professor, and Jazzy Quick, assistant professor, in LLCC’s integrated media design program.
 
The free camp is made available through an Accelerated Training Opportunities in Manufacturing and Technology grant from the U.S. Department of Labor. More information about integrated media design at LLCC is available at www.llcc.edu/imd.
