Hi all,<br>
I volunteered in the past five years or so teaching Blender in
Italy, mostly to university and high school students (14-30 years
old). I'd be very interested in hosting a "blender bootcamp" at my
university. I work at a physics department, and I've always tried to
convince my colleagues and students to use Blender to explain to the
wide audience their works, seminars, results, etc..<br>
Just as an example, I used blender to depict (not necessarily
accurate) what happened during the famous event of the detected
gravitational wave. Here is the result:<br>

<br>
In order to propose it to my university board, I'd like to have more
informations on how to organize it. Could you give me some?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Richard<br>

<div>Our England based 3D animation summer school, <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://3dami.org/">3Dami</a>,
has finished. We had 44 students aged 13 - 18 working in mini
film studios for 7 days and creating 5 films. All work that
you see is theirs (except for some textures and the sound.)
Only one student had any formal training. We've been
partnering with Universities and managed to get a 500 node
render farm at UCL and a 177 node render farm in Bath</div>

<div>We're trying to prove the point that you don't need to dumb
down the software for younger students.</div>
