[Bf-education] SIGGRAPH 2013 BOF

[Wobbe F. Koning]

Hi Brian,

Very interesting! The school seems of a type we do not have in the 
States, maybe a vocational school? It is not a community college, right?

Is the school only offering Blender or a choice of 3D packages?

I would love to see what your students create Blender.

Cheers,

Wobbe.
