Armed with a bag of animal crackers and clad in a cardigan and neon-striped socks, Dustin Yager begins his day.
It starts 12 stories up, in a bright classroom at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago ( SAIC ) . "We're making Lego guys," Dustin explains. He is sitting around a large table with other grad students, using his laptop to design a Mohawk for his Lego guy. When he's done, the design will be spit out of a 3-D printer down the hall.
