<br>
Thank you for sharing you work. We do have an overlap in
audience. <br>
I've noticed that kids want to create stories or games. And they
want to know how to create this story or game in Blender.<br>
So they start from the story in mind and I think that that's
where we have to start our teaching of blender to kids as well.<br>
Your tutorials could be part of a larger storytelling.<br>
<br>

everyone,<br>
<br>
Past months I've been asked to give Blender workshops to
kids between 8<br>
and 16 years old. I searched for Blender teaching material
but couldn't<br>
find much. I decided to use some simple models from
Blendswap and hide<br>
the majority of buttons in the UI. Surprisingly this worked
better than<br>
expected.<br>
The kids were very enthusiastic and could perform the tasks
pretty well.<br>
At the end I was asked how kids could continu learning
Blender.<br>
<br>
This motivated me to start an open website/platform in NL to
teach kids<br>
more on technology, especially Blender & Python. But
what is a good<br>
format for teaching Blender to kids?<br>
Can we teach Blender to kids in a same manner as kids are
thaught math<br>
or grammar?<br>
Are there tutorials or program lessons available for kids?<br>
Is anyone working on this and willing to cooperate?<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
