Learning made fun: Uni camp gives taste of high school life

URBANA – In an echoing dance studio at the University of Illinois, children are kicking and screaming. And in this case, it's a good thing.

The kicking comes when the kids, mostly ages 9-11, practice their moves at University Laboratory High School's summer camp, where sessions range from a week learning how to program a robot to another week creating spoken-word poetry.
