I applaud the efforts on B3d101.org. It is nice to see some of these
resources in one place.
When teaching children 10-18 years old, I would suggest that the initial
introduction to animation needs to be more simple than some of what I
see on b3d101.org. Content needs to be provided in chucks of 10 minutes
or less, and it needs to produce something that provides a sense of
accomplishment. I have had good success with kids and the following:

When I look at https://cgcookie.com/flow/introduction-to-blender/ I get
a set of categories, but it gives me the impression of needing to put in
40 minutes or more to learn anything at all. I have found I can get
people hooked if I can get them to spend 5 minutes on a tutorial that
shows them how they can create something of their own. I tend to slide
in the "here's the user interface" with the "let's make something fun"
part rather than the other way around.
I'd love to contribute the materials I have created and have someone
else use or refine them.
