[Bf-education] Bf-education Digest, Vol 207, Issue 1

[Monique Dewanchand]

Hi all,

In addition to Peter's response, in the Netherlands (and Belgium) there are
quite some initiatives teaching blender at schools or Coderdojo's.
In Germany we also have the Blender 3D Summer school:
https://blender3dschool.de/workshops-2021/
In China the Krystal Institute has started teaching Blender to schools.
IEARN (https://iearn.org/cc/space-2/group-473) is also running a Blender
project. In Poland we have polskikursblendera.pl (looks like the website is
down...)

Together with Tom and Peter (3Dami), and with support from volunteers, we
started b3d101.org to provide free Blender tutorials. Would love to talk
about possibilities for the future.

@Bram drop me a word and we can settle for a meeting.

Kind regards,
Monique
