[Bf-education] Minutes from education meeting at #bcon16

[Monique]

Thank you Lee for your input.

The introduction to animation is in the "New to 3D" section. The video 
is approximately 5 minutes and covers the basics of animation. The 
racetrack is a follow up. Up 'till now we 've seen kids, even younger 
than 10, follow these introduction tutorials perfectly, without having 
any problems.

Rgds,
Monique
