[Bf-education] Bf-education Digest, Vol 211, Issue 1

Hi Lisa,

Good to hear you're teaching high school kids Blender!

I found that teaching material is best to be developed from scratch to best
suits the learners need (age, skills, etc.) and your target outcome (UI,
modeling, character design, etc.).
So these often vary.

That aside, some great free source of information are YouTube playlists

Hope this helps!
