I'm willing to assist in this as well as I have 10 plus years of experience in blender and it is wonderful to see open oppotunities like this. I'm 33 in age and I focus on animation, modelling and cartooning. I hope this message is not automated. :)</span></div> <br><div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div style="display: block;" class="yahoo_quoted"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font face="Arial" size="2"> On Tuesday, August 11, 2015 3:32 PM, Knapp <magick.crow@gmail.com> wrote:<br> </font> </div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv2724259040"><div dir="ltr">In a way I am focused on this project.

<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>
Monique Dewanchand<br>
At Mind<br>
