Below is one of my Pinterest board, aimed at helping students, and families
with teaching and learning, on a community level.  We have several
meetup.com events, where people can come together to form "experimental
projects" or virtual team projects when appropriate. Funding is possible
via grant from a foundation when the project can have an umbrella of a
educational organization or a not-for-profit, 501c-3 IRS designated tax
status, as we have here at Fairfax County, VA

Supplemental educational resource for game developers, we focus initially
on Blender 3D tool and Unity Game Engine as two popular game engine tools .
Blender is among the most popular 3D tool with game engine geeks in
America.
