Embark on an exhilarating exploration of 3D modeling with our course designed for children aged 10 and above – "3D Modelling in Blender3D. Level 1." Spanning 10 lessons, this program introduces the very basics of 3D design using Blender3D.


Begin with Step 1: Introduction to 3D Modeling and Blender3D. Navigate the Blender3D interface, create and manipulate basic shapes, and understand 3D primitives. Learn the intricacies of object transformation, applying these skills to craft simple 3D shapes and bring a basic character to life.


Transition to Step 2: Introduction into Blender3D’s Modifiers. Uncover the transformative abilities of modifiers, including Boolean, Mirror, and Bevel modifiers. Practice applying these modifiers to create intricate designs through extrusion and beveling, gaining hands-on experience with modifier chains.


In Step 3: 3D Modelling of the Robotic Character, set the stage for 3D printing and precision modeling. Dive into the creation of robotic components, utilizing modifiers to refine the design. Culminate this step by preparing a robotic character for 3D printing.


This course promises a dynamic and interactive learning experience, nurturing creativity and laying the groundwork for a captivating journey into the realm of 3D modeling.



This course has 10 lessons. Classes run from 13.10 to 14.10 every Saturday 

This course is ready for 10+ years old. Girls and boys are very welcome!
